SHE Building Architectural Access Notes

Entrance and Elevators

The main entrance (the entrance on the South side of Gerrard St E, next to Mutual St.) has an automated door. There’s an elevator right inside this main entrance also serves as which opens onto the main elevator lobby and will take you up to the fifth floor. There are also stairs up to the fifth floor.

Washrooms

There is one single-occupancy, all-gender washroom with an automated entrance and  available on the 5th floor. This bathroom has angled grab bars, back support on the toilet, a chair close to the toilet, and a spot for needle disposal. There are also two “women’s” washrooms with multiple stalls on this floor. They have automated entrances, a stall in each with angled grab bars, and a changing table. Note: TMU puts these little signs up that say anyone who identifies as a woman or non-binary can use these washrooms. That’s inside the washroom though, not outside (TMU being perplexing as per usual). The closest “men’s” washroom is on the 4th floor, accessible by the elevator. This washroom has an accessible entrance, urinals, and grab bars.  Link to the accessible washroom specs from TMU: View washroom details

Masking

The SHE building and the Disability Studies Office are not mask mandatory spaces. We have asked that faculty and students entering the Disability Publics lab during our class time wear masks and will have masks available (KN95s, N95s, some duckbills and bi-folds. Is there a particular mask type you are looking for? Send Finn an email at fstanners@torontomu.ca). We will also have a HEPA filter running in the space. TMU has/is notoriously turning off their HEPA filters in campus buildings so it is uncertain whether the air is being filtered in the rest of the building.

We will discuss in class how to navigate drinking and snacking during class time. If required, there are private office spaces adjacent to the classroom where students can go to unmask and eat indoors.

Student Card Access

The SHE building requires a student card to enter. If you have not yet received a student/guest student card please contact us!
