Is the building wheelchair accessible? (current as of 8/28/17)

The Democracy Center is partially wheelchair accessible, no accessible bathroom on site. The Mandela, Parks, and Chavez rooms are accessible, but the Library is not. Wheelchair users are welcome to use the accessible restroom at Daedalus while we plan our improvements for bathroom accessibility. To reach that bathroom, exit the ramp and turn left on Bow St, at the next building (Daedalus) use their accessible entrance and their restroom will be on the right. More information at: democracycenter.org/accessibility. Contact info@democracycenter.org or 617 492 8855 as needed

Our event is in the Mandela room, it is wheelchair accessible.

Is there parking available?

There is metered parking in the front of the building on Mount Auburn Street, as well as behind the building on Bow Street. The parking meters take quarters, and there is now a website/app you can use: ppprk.com. Plan to park in a garage, just in case - parking in and around the square is unpredictable at best. Check out this site (http://www.harvardsquare.com/parking) for more parking information.

The #1 bus stops just outside the Democracy Center, Harvard Square Station on the Red Line is a 5 minute walk away, serviced by many bus routes. Major ones include: 1, 66, 86, and 77.
