Our Building

Our building and offices are at 104 Gilmore Place, Edinburgh EH3 9PL.

Bus routes 10 and 27 stop just outside, and there are several routes that stop along nearby Fountain Park and Bruntsfield Place. We have a bike rack on our property.

Parking near the building is free in some places on Sundays and metered during the rest of the week. Please make sure that you don’t block any private driveways or make it hard for people to get off their driveways. The nearest long-stay parking is at Fountain Park.

Accessibility

Our building was not built with accessibility concerns in mind, so we have had to adapt it as best we can. We understand that coming to a building for the first time can cause anxiety, so if you have any questions, please contact us in advance using the form below and we’ll do all we can to help you.

Our side entrance on Gilmore Place is at ground level and there is a doorbell at accessible height. Please be aware that the doors open outwards.

Through the side door, you will find a foyer with an accessible toilet. We have installed two platform lifts (the platform dimensions are 1000mm x 800mm), one of which goes down to the side hall, and one which goes up to the auditorium. There is lots of space in the auditorium for wheelchair users.

The rooms which are not currently accessible for wheelchair users are the Hub, the Lower Side Hall, the Library, and the Office.

In the event of a fire evacuation, the designated space for wheelchair users to await evacuation from the auditorium is the main entrance area. Wheelchair users in the Side Hall will be lifted up five steps to street level, where they can safely exit. Our volunteer teams will offer assistance as required and requested. The platform lifts have battery powered back-up in the event of power failure.
