Overview

Going around the main areas of CodeBase - there is a large events space and nice area for socialising, hot-desking etc.

Transport & Parking

CodeBase is just behind Usher Hall which has great bus links, also close to Princes Street with bus and tram links. There is also a car park across one road which charges. Some roads and crossings are a bit bumpy for wheelchair users so not the smoothest journey if you’re unsure where to go.

Access

The front door has “CODEBASE” in big letters, these open automatically. When inside at first there is the main reception area which has a small couch to wait in. To the left there is a door through to the toilets and on the right is the large events space which has heavy glass doors. Toilets and spaces are clearly signposted and there are visible stickers on glass doors. To get into the main space and further into offices you need a swipe card. These doors I find quite heavy.

Toilets

The accessible toilet is the first one on the right. It has enough room for myself in a powerchair and another person to help. The red cord is to the floor and is hanging nearer the door than the toilet itself. Handrails are on both sides of toilet and mirror. Good turning space for wheelchairs and the door opens outwards.

Staff

Reception staff are always lovely and helpful if I need the doors opened for me.
