From here, you can get a lift down to Studio 2, followed by a 10 metre walk to the entrance of Studio 2, or alternatively you can take the stairs down (which there are approx. 15 steps)
- Unfortunately only one location for toilets, however it is extremely close to the Studio 2 front doors. The toilets are downstairs in the basement. You can either take the lift down to the basement, press 0, or take the stairs. (A member of staff can assist the user with the lift, as it is an access lift rather than a building lift.) If you take the lift, the toilets are on the basement level. Come out of the left and the gents loos are opposite, the gent door is a push door inwards, the ladies loos are on the opposite wall to the right, the ladies loos door is a push door in and the disabled loo is on the right, the door open out to the left. Gents loos: There are two lockable toilets directly opposite – the doors open outwards and there are 4 urinals on the left hand wall. There are two sinks on the right hand wall, hand soap and paper towel dispenser, with a bin underneath. Ladies loos: There are six cubicles which each have a loo and a sink. They are clever water saving loos, the water from the sink is used to flush the loo. The flush is a small button on the side of the sink. Hand towel is on the wall with a bin for waste paper. There are eco sanitary bins for disposal of sanity products, they are tall white tubes which are on the floor and have a small flip lid.
