On-Site Accessibility

University of St Francis Performing Arts Center (USF)

Fort Wayne Fire Department Code Enforcement is present at all of our performances to comply with ADA regulations.  They inspect the building upon arrival and go through a checklist on all levels 30 minutes before doors open to the public. During performances, two team members sit in the front row on either side of the audience to aid in getting people out in an emergency situation.

Wheelchairs: The front row of seats are removed for wheel chairs and there are two to three seats behind the wheel chair spots for their caregivers.  More seats available for caregivers depending on the wheel chair spacing.  They are on ground level main floor.  There are 14 designated wheel chair spots; 7 on each side. 

Walkers:  We seat guests with walkers in the front row of seating.  In an emergency, FWFD CODE ENFORCEMENT can easily access this row and give evacuation aid to these guests. We also have two wheelchairs available for those who cannot make the first step in the auditorium. At this time, guests who cannot walk stairs are not permitted in the balcony area or seated higher than the third row up from the main entry floor level. 

TRINITY EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH

Door 1 has access to the second floor which is attainable by elevator whereas Door 2 has ramp access to the first floor.  The men's restroom and the women's restroom both have smaller stalls with handlebars on the sides for better assistance. There is a handicap-accessible restroom on the second floor in the Fellowship area.
