We have accessible toilets on all floors and all doorways are 98cm wide as a minimum. Building Description The building consists of two blocks set at 90 degrees from each other. The main entrance to the Learning Centre is accessed from the Grosvenor road side. There are 6 steps leading directly up to the main doors, to the right of which there is a ramp with a 180 degree right turn roughly around 5metres along to face back towards the entrance. If approaching from the ramp, the doors will be on your left. The main doors open outwards automatically on approach when we are fully open to the public. There are rails either side of the doorway to mark the space. To the left of this there is a protruding postbox on the wall with a fob access panel on the to the right roughly 120cm from the ground. Inside the foyer, the reception booth is at an angle on the right around 2m ahead. Please be aware there is a pillar located 4m straight ahead from the entrance.

Our training, meeting rooms and art rooms, are on the right, through an open doorway. All rooms in this corridor are on the right-hand side and windows on the left. These layouts are the same for both upper floors. Improving our Accessibility Over the coming years we are hoping to improve our accessibility to account for both hard of hearing and seeing members of the public. This includes adding contrasting visual markers around the building and braille signposting. If you have any questions, queries or recommendations around accessibility, please do not hesitate to get in touch .

ABOUT US Previously a Council run building, the St Pauls Learning Centre was under threat of closure due to years of Government cuts and austerity. In May 2015 the building was put to tender via the Community Asset Transfer programme and caught the attention of The Ethical Property Company (EPC), an organisation that began life in the area many years previously. Recognising the value the Learning Centre brought to the community, EPC could see clear potential to increase the Learning Centre's offering and become a hive of socially impactful activity with the help of EPC's building management expertise. The Ethical Property Company acquired a 15 year lease of the centre and since then have worked to create a self-sustaining and thriving community hub. The Ethical Property Company is a social business providing office and meeting space to over 1,000 charities, not-for-profit organisations and voluntary groups across the UK each year. Tenants work in a variety of sectors from homelessness to refugee support, sustainable transport to animal welfare, drug rehabilitation to disability awareness and many many more, always with the aim of making our society and planet a better place for all. For more information visit www.ethicalproperty.co.uk . The St Pauls Learning Centre logo is based upon the Sankofa, a symbol that represents the importance of learning from the past. Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana that translates as "Go back and get it" (san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take) and also refers to the Asante Adinkra symbol represented either by a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back, or as a stylised heart shape.
