ACCESS FOR ALL CREATORS
aka: how to roll, stroll, or strut into the lab
At The Joy Lab, we believe making should be for everyone. That means making our space as accessible as possible, so you can focus on getting creative—not navigating obstacles.
Here’s what to know about getting into the lab.
GETTING INSIDE
Front Entrance / Main Door:
This is the entry closest to the sidewalk. Please note:
– There’s a half staircase (about 5–6 stairs)
– No handrail
– After the stairs, it’s a 3-hallway walk to the lab
This entrance is not recommended for anyone who uses a mobility aid or prefers a step-free entry.
Back Entrance (Alley / Loading Dock):
This is the more accessible option.
Here’s what that looks like:
– Step-free entrance via a extra wide ramp
– Two standard-width doorways
– A small lip at the threshold of the first doorway (under 1 inch)
– Only one hallway to walk/navigate before you’re inside the lab and ready to make magic
If you’d like to use the alley entrance, just give us a heads up and we’ll make sure it’s open and someone’s there to guide you in + assist with doors.
FAT-FRIENDLY & BODY-INCLUSIVE
Every body is welcome here. We mean that.
All furniture is fat-friendly and weight tested to at least 600 lbs
We’ve got wide, low, and supportive couches, stools, and chairs
No wobbly folding chairs. No tiny café seats. Just comfy, real-deal furniture selected with care
Layout allows ample space to move freely, no matter your body size or mobility aid
All Chairs (besides one computer chair) are armless
You can always request a different table height, or a layout tweak—we’re here to make sure you’re comfortable.
ADJUSTABLE & FLEXIBLE SETUP
Our main work table is:
Adjustable height (stand, sit, or roll up however you like!)
On wheels and fully movable so we can shift the layout to create extra space for mobility, equipment, or just a little breathing room
If you need us to set up the space a certain way, just drop us a line ahead of time—we’re happy to prep it for your needs.
NEED SOMETHING CUSTOM?
Whether it’s:
– Extra support with navigating the space
– A walkthrough ahead of time
– Specific seating or tools
– Just someone to say “hi” and walk you in
We’ve got you.
