Accessibility
Annacis Research and Event Centre has a dedicated accessible parking space and can easily section off more accessible parking at the lobby entrance of the building. Floors inside the facility are concrete, making mobility easier for wheelchairs and wheeled oxygen units. Our facility has a large, open concept space with wide hallways and a private accessible washroom and accessible washroom stalls.
We are pet friendly! Guide/service dogs and therapy animals are allowed at events and meetings.
