The Accessibility of Our Buildings

The Conservatoire consists of five buildings on four individual sites: the Laban Building (Faculty of Dance) and the Cottages are at Creekside (SE8); King Charles Court (Faculty of Music) is within the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich (SE10), part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site; the Old Laban Centre at New Cross (SE14); and Blackheath Halls, a Victorian Music Hall at Blackheath (SE3). The two main buildings are close to accessible transport routes.

Street accessibility to the Reception point at all buildings is relatively straight forward, without steps, and with ramp access where necessary.

Each building provides good accessible toilet facilities, however, individually the buildings are very different and internal accessibility differs;

The Laban Building:  Completed in 2002 to very high standards, including compliance with Part M (Access to and use of buildings) it was awarded the Stirling Prize for architecture. All teaching and learning levels have full accessible by either ramped wide corridors or lifts.

King Charles Court: With original architecture by Sir Christopher Wren and built in stages between 1642 and 1814, this iconic building has undergone many changes in use and suffered severe bomb and fire damage in its time.   Being a Grade 1* listed building with Ancient Monument status, it is challenging to apply modern accessibility standards, however, wherever possible this has been achieved and further improvements to internal accessibility are currently being taken forward through English Heritage and The Department of Culture, Media and Sport. All key areas and facilities have step-free access, and many others areas are accessible via the use of portable ramps.

The Cottages:  Have full accessibility to all levels and step free access to the rooms (Ground and First floor).

Old Laban Centre:  There are six studios and a newly modernised theatre complex on this site. All but two studios have full accessibility.
