I remember the lady said it was an assisted lift, so a wheelchair persons
needs help for moving around.

Access to the building, and inside the building is great for wheelchair
people, even from/to the different parts of the building.
The rooms are very close to each other, so access to the different parts of
the hacklabs is easy and quick.
The auditorium *which we could not visit) does not need any preparation as is
properly set. The one in teviot is flat, instead of having an inclination for
the people on the back to see the front.
