We have two ramps at Make.Shift:

One into the basement that provides access to the stage and main concert area. This doorway is 3’ 5”. This ramp is very steep. If you need to use it to gain access to the basement, please make an accessibility request and we will assign someone to assist you.

Is There A Designated Accessible Seating Area? No, there's not an accessible seating area
Seating-Other/Details:

Bench seating around perimeter of dance floor.

Restrooms: No, there are no accessible restrooms
Additional Comments:

The green room is fairly accessible and they have a ramp going up to the stage, but the venue is in the basement and there is no way to access it without using stairs or a very steep ramp.

There is no designated quiet/sensory safe space.

Staff are not trained in accessibility and ableism.

Make.Shift is currently making the transition to scent-free cleaning products.

The venue is conscious of accessibility and is actively working to improve their space and is open to community suggestions for improvements. You can also submit accessibility requests on their contact page.
