EVENT LOUNGE

Support :

The project to audit and certify 12 VENUES infrastructures was made possible by the valuable support of :

           

Please note :
This certification only concerns the building and not future events that may take place in it.
During events, the layout of the premises may change, resulting in a change in accessibility. The responsibility for this change would then lie with the event organiser.
Furthermore, the certification visit only concerned the public part of the building and not the rented parts.

Description of the VENUE :

EVENTLOUNGE is a structure that hosts private events.

On the ground floor, there is a multi-purpose room used for the organisation of various events, a terrace lounge and a lounge area.

On the first floor, there are several conference rooms and offices, a lounge area with a balcony and adapted sanitary facilities.

For the sake of clarity, we would like to point out that this sheet represents the accessibility level of the ground floor (the two levels are not the same).
