The main entrance is on Ashley Street. This is marked with a main entrance sign.

Follow the building along Ashley Street to the entrance beside the lift. Four steps lead up into the ground-floor café and public spaces.

For step-free access, use the adjacent lift entrance. The lift is operated by staff, so a member of our team will need to assist you. Please see Lift entrance for details on requesting assistance.

On this floor you will find Kanvas café-bar, Gallery 1, and our public archive, learning centre, quiet room, and toilets.
