Text version of floor plans

First floor (street level)

Enter from 21st Street NW through the main entrance, which is wheelchair accessible; SPARC’s MEL sensory van is parked just outside it. The registration and check-in table is immediately inside, followed by the lobby, where SPARC volunteers will be stationed to help. Doors from the lobby lead into the Jack Morton Auditorium (fixed seating, open seating with wheelchair spaces; the stage is at the front). Restrooms, the elevator, and stairs are all located off the lobby on this level. A second accessible route into the building is available near the H Street NW corner.

Second floor (Art Gallery Lobby)

The second floor holds the Summit Posters & Exhibits displays and the Refreshments & Coffee catering tables, with café tables and standing tables (plus chairs) for breaks. Reach it by the elevators or the stairs from the first-floor lobby.

Lower level

The lower level has additional restrooms. Reach it by the elevator or the stairs down from the first-floor lobby.
