The second door has a clear passage of 77cm for a single leaf. Both doors can be opened.

 

All the rooms are on the same level except for the 1st room on the right, the Salle Blanche de Namur: at the entrance to the room, there is a small difference in level of 9% over 25cm. The door must be kept open to allow a rotation area.

The other interior doors have a clear passage of +/-90cm but must be kept open as they do not have the 50cm next to the door handle and the walls are very thick.

 

The PRM washroom is not independently accessible. The access hatch is too narrow. Assistance can be requested to open the door for straight access. Inside, the grab rails are a little too far away from the toilet bowl, at 43cm from the axis.
