Accessibility

With its comprehensive services, Krannert Center is nationally recognized as a welcoming space. It was designed for complete wheelchair accessibility a full two decades before most other public buildings were functional for wheelchair users. Accessible parking spaces are available on all levels of Krannert Center’s underground garages and are located close to the elevator lobbies. Four spaces (one in each garage) accommodate vans, and two others (one in Green Parking and one in Blue Parking on the south side of the building off Oregon Street) will fit a car.

In addition to accessibility by wheelchair, all theatres have seats with easy access. Ushers are also available to assist you around the building as well as from the parking lot to your theatre seat and back again. Buttons for usher service are located in each elevator lobby.

Large-print or Braille programs are available on request, and we will gladly provide audiotaped versions of our brochures, calendars, and other printed pieces. An ASL interpreter can be available for any performance, the four formal theatres have an infrared hearing system, and the Ticket Office may be reached through a text-telephone yoke (TTY).

Please contact us at least three weeks in advance if you have a special need, and we will be glad to honor your request. For more information, contact our patron services director at 217/333-9716 (TTY: 217/333-9714).
