Front Entrance and Rose Garden Parkade Accessibility

The Chan Centre is able to fully accommodate those with accessibility needs. When approaching the Chan Centre entrance from the top of the stairwell off of Main Mall, there is an elevator located on the east side of Flag Pole Plaza; adjacent of the main doors to the Chan Centre.

The same elevator connects to the Rose Garden Parkade, and a number of accessible parking stalls can be found on level five.

Concert Hall Accessibility

The orchestra (main) level of the Chan Shun Concert Hall has a variety of accessible seats. Please note that only the left side of the dress and upper levels of the concert hall (including box seating) are accessible by elevator.

Seat sizes in the concert hall range from approximately 16.5 inches to 19.25 inches. View a map of seat sizes here. If you require a chair that is larger than this, please note that box seating on the dress and upper levels contain movable chairs with arms which can be replaced with chairs that have no arms.
