The Pavilion has been designed to be as accessible as possible. The upper ground level and rooftop are fully accessible via an internal lift, providing step-free access between these spaces. The lower ground level, where OMÉYA is located, is not accessible by lift and can only be reached via stairs.

The final rating is still being determined, as multiple factors contribute. Our target is over 90% of the New Building Standard (NBS). This work ensures that the building remains a safe, secure, and long-lasting space for the community to enjoy well into the future.
