Parking and Accessibility

Wheelchair-friendly gravel parking is available in our gated lot, which is on Gilbert Street, one block west of Livernois. Additional parking is available on Michigan Avenue and on neighborhood streets. 

The front door on Michigan Ave is barrier free as is the side door, which most events will use. Unfortunately, there are no barrier-free restrooms. There is one that only requires three steps.
