Architectural accessibility

The space surrounding the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice building is available for persons with disabilities in terms of the pavements and paths, which are situated on one level. The Culture Zone space, of which the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice is a part, has parking lots with clearly designated parking places for persons with disabilities. These parking places are situated at the shortest possible distance from the main entrance. Persons with disabilities and persons accompanying them are entitled to park directly in front of the main entrance for up to 5 minutes free of charge. This enables them to purchase tickets at the box office, make reservations, and reach the box office and the concert hall in a convenient manner.

The entrances to the building are accessible from ground level, with no stairs. The building is equipped with both revolving and traditional doors on both sides. The surfaces of the floors are flat, with no differences in level. Access to each floor is provided with elevators accessible for wheelchair users. The building offers a room for nursing mothers. Toilets accessible for persons with disabilities are located on each floor adjacent to the general-access toilet blocks.

Box offices and cloakrooms are located on the 0 level, close to the main entrance. The cloakrooms provide storage for pushchairs and luggage. The bookstore, accessible for persons with disabilities, is located on the 0 level. Acoustic doors are equipped with thresholds no higher than 2 centimetres and the remaining doors are threshold-free. The design of the auditorium of the main Concert Hall offers 6 places for wheelchair users and persons accompanying them on both sides of the auditorium, on the ground level, in the most attractive and accessible part of the Amphitheatre, in front of the stage. The Chamber Hall offers 4 places on the +1 level. The places are accessible directly from the floor level.

The recording complex, which is located below ground level, is equipped with a vertical platform lift providing access for wheelchair users.

The personnel of the box offices and cloakrooms, ushers, and security personnel provide support for persons with disabilities in using the cloakroom and reaching the concert halls. These persons are given priority in being served by the personnel.

It is possible to enter the building with an assistance dog, yet, due to the character of our institution, we do not allow participation in concerts in concert halls with an assistance dog. Every person may, upon prior notice, be assigned a member of cloakroom staff (assistance in dressing) and an usher (seating and return to the cloakroom).

There is no sign language interpreter available at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, either on site or online.

The building is equipped with an infrared-signals-based support system for hearing-impaired persons. The solution ensures separation from other wireless systems using radio transmissions, with relatively high immunity to lighting-generated noise. In the concert hall, the system covers the main auditorium with its balcony and the balcony on level 2. In the chamber hall, the PIR04 transmitter ensures proper functioning of the system across the whole auditorium. 1 audio channel is provided for each hall. The use of the same sender, an MIR01 modulator, for both halls means that a complete set of audio signals is transmitted in each hall, both the large concert hall and the chamber hall.

All events organised at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice are accessible for persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities and persons accompanying them are entitled to discounts when purchasing tickets for the events. We offer special tickets for 50% of the price of a regular ticket to persons with mobility impairment and persons accompanying them (a special place for a wheelchair and a seat for the accompanying person) and to persons with other disabilities (a seat in the hall).
