Barrier-free in the HCC

In all renovation and maintenance work carried out in recent years, special emphasis was placed on single-colour, opaque and non-slip floor coverings, in addition to compliance with and implementing all legal regulations. In addition, our wall designs are high-contrast, handrails and bannisters start from the floor, the lighting design is largely glare-free, and breastfeeding and baby changing facilities are available beyond what is required.

Disabled parking spaces & entrances for the disabled

In the area of our multi-storey car park on Schillstraße, there are seven disabled parking spaces in the direct vicinity of the main entrance. Two further disabled parking spaces are located in the Kuppelsaal area, near the Park Restaurant. From the main entrance, you can reach the reception and all halls and conference rooms of the Hannover Congress Centrum as well as the Kuppelsaal at ground level. An intercom system is installed at the main entrance for further on-site information or assistance. You will find a detailed overview of disabled parking spaces, access and sanitary facilities in the overview plan.

The company exhibition will be opened on Tuesday, 23 May at 12:00 in the foyer of the Eilenriedehalle. We look forward to welcoming all delegates and exhibitors.
