A lively, multi-purpose and luminous venue!

Accessibility
Reduced mobility: Building 7 is 100 m from the sidewalk, and the Grand Atelier is located on the upper floor of the building. There is a ramp and a passageway that leads to the main door with no steps. The main door has an automated opening function. There is an elevator (freight lift) to the second floor which can be used accompanied by member or staff who can guide it’s usage. There are toilets on each floor designed for those with limited mobility. Please note, however that once inside the building there are no automatic doors, and we are not universally accessible. Some people may therefore need to be accompanied from the sidewalk to the room. Please plan for people to support those with limited mobility, and inform us of accessibility needs in advance whenever possible.
All bathrooms at Bâtiment 7 are gender-neutral.
Parking
Bâtiment 7 does not have a parking lot. Visitors will have to find parking on adjacent streets. We do, however, have a drop-off point where you can drop off people or material near the building and then return to the street to park.
Liquor license
If your event is private (invitation only for specific audience, such as members of an organization or a family), then you won’t need a permit if you serve or sell alcoholic beverages. This applies to events of less than 200 people only, which is all events in the Grand Atelier.
If your event is open to the public (ticketing and/or public announcement open to all), then you’ll need to apply for a permit, whether to serve or sell alcohol.
Event organizers must apply for and pay for their own liquor license at least 15 days before the event.
Local-brewed beers for your event
Les Sans Taverne cooperative microbrewery, located in Bâtiment 7, offers a beer sales service tailored to your needs. Write to them for more info: ventes@sans-taverne.coop

Noise & closing times
In general, there’s no problem making noise in the Grand Atelier, as long as the windows are closed at 11pm.
Note, we can’t promise complete silence in the space, as it’s located inside an active community project.
There is no restriction on the time periods of reservations (IE how late they go), as long as organisers respect the time period arranged with us in advance.
