Accessibility: The Institute Office
The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux is located on Rue de l’Arbre 14 / Boomstraat 14, Brussels. The building is located centrally, but unfortunately the building itself is not widely accessible.
Our office is located on the third floor. The building entry has five steps, with no hand railing, and no ramp. The building does not have automated doors. The door must be pushed/pulled open and is very heavy. There is a small lift, however, the door is not automated. The institute office is an open and spacious office. The toilets are located in the hallway outside of the office, and though they are by Belgian law are marked for male/female, the institute does not follow any strict rules on who uses which stall.
Our staff are prepared to meet elsewhere for agreed meetings, if so preferred. We encourage our guests to let us know what is comfortable for them in regards to accessibility and meeting location.
Please feel free to reach out to us by phone or email if you are planning a visit and have any questions about accessibility.
