ASL INTERPRETATION
Arts Commons Presents is proud to offer ASL interpretation for all National Geographic Live public presentations at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. ASL interpretation is also offered by many of the Arts Commons Resident Companies: Alberta Theatre Projects, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Downstage, Theatre Calgary, and One Yellow Rabbit. If you are attending a rental event, please contact our box office or inquire with the producing company about the availability of ASL interpretation.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING
Our current Assistive Listening Device (ALD) system will continue to be available in the Big Secret Theatre, Engineered Air Theatre, Martha Cohen Theatre, Max Bell Theatre, and Jack Singer Concert Hall as we transition to the Sennheiser MobileConnect+ system.
Please contact our box office for further information on our Assistive Listening System prior to purchasing your ticket. Once you arrive at Arts Commons, visit the Coat Check to be set you up with our most current system.
AIR FILTRATION
Arts Commons has implemented an Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) solution in the building, and our MERV-15A air filters make sure air leaves our building cleaner than it came in!
PARKING & DROP-OFFS
The Arts Commons Parkade has designated accessibility parking spaces available, but the parkade fills up quickly, so we recommend coming early. Due to improvements to the Arts Commons Parkade, sections of P1 are closed. During renovations, elevator access will be uninterrupted from P2 Level. Elevator to the Big Secret and Motel Theatres from P1 Level will resume in November. View map here. If the Arts Commons parkade does not have an accessible stall available, additional parking is available at the City Hall parkade, which has a much larger capacity of accessible parking stalls per level and is accessible via the +15 walkways.
For more details of parking in the area, call 403-537-7000 or go to Calgary Parking.
Drop-offs can be made on 8th Avenue in front of the Jack Singer Concert Hall with ramp access into the interior of the building. In the instance that 8th Avenue is closed, drop-offs can be made in the pull-out outside of the Max Bell Theatre which is accessed from 9th Avenue.
WASHROOMS
Accessible washrooms are available throughout the building; Arts Commons staff will be happy to direct you to the closest location.
Gender-neutral washrooms are available in the lobbies of the Jack Singer Concert Hall and Engineered Air Theatre in Arts Commons. If you are attending an event in the Martha Cohen, Max Bell, Motel, or Big Secret Theatres, please speak to a Front of House staff member to be directed to the nearest gender-neutral washroom.
