Access to larger elevator at 205 Richmond St. W. (RHA)

Students, employees and visitors attending 205 Richmond St. W. (RHA) may find the elevator in the lobby of this building is too small for some assistive devices. An alternative, larger elevator is available at the rear of the building. Visitors who find they cannot use the smaller elevator should contact their hosts for support in accessing the larger elevator. 

If you are a student or employee who requires ongoing use of the larger elevator, or would like to be able to help visitors use this elevator, please contact securitysupervisors@ocadu.ca. You will receive training that includes safety protocols for this elevator. Once completed, your OCAD U ID card will be enabled for the street-level entrance to the larger elevator.
