Thanks for reminding me that 'Openness' means accessibility for all, btw. It's something that we truly can't take for granted. One of the reasons why we loved the building we are in for Citizen Space is that our landlord had installed a really high tech wheelchair elevator in the main lobby (there are 5 stairs to get to the elevator). Because of this, we've been able to host many events that other spaces couldn't.
