Accessibility
There is an accessible parking space located behind the northeast side of the building Monday through Saturday. On Sunday mornings and for larger events, all parking spaces along the back (north) wall of the Meeting House, and one space next to the ramp are all reserved for people requiring accessible parking spaces.
There is a ramp and an automated door opener located on the east side of the building. Upon entering through this door, you will find an elevator that will allow you to enter every level of the building excluding the Sanctuary balcony area.
All restrooms are accessible. Gender diversity is welcomed here. All are welcome to use the restroom that best fits their identity. All-Gender Restrooms are located on the lower level of the Meeting House.
Sound amplification devices are located at the first-floor office. There are large-print hymnals and magnification sheets available at the rear of the Sanctuary. We have Braille hymns available in the first pew of the east side of the Sanctuary each Sunday.
Parking
Sunday Mornings
Visitors may park in the oval parking area on the east side of the Meeting House. There is additional parking in the lots behind the building, on the street, and in the city parking lots or garages.
Evenings & Weekends
You may use the Society parking lot on weekday evenings and weekends.
Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m., we rent out spaces in our parking lot to people who work downtown. Anyone without a current parking tag will be towed from the lot during these times. During these same hours, the oval parking area on the east side of the Meeting House is reserved for members who have purchased a parking tag or for people attending a meeting at the Meeting House.
Member Parking Tags are for short-term parking (3 hours or less) Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Annually in September, tags are available for purchase or renewal by emailing our Facilities Manager, Devin, at [email protected].
We currently do not have weekday non-member parking spots available and have closed our waiting list. If this situation should change, we will post it on our website. There is no overnight parking on our property. Vehicles left in our lot overnight will be towed.
For parking or facilities questions, please contact our Facilities Manager, Devin Fallon, at [email protected], or (802) 862-5630, ext. 23.
