ADA Accessibility

The Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is committed to accommodating the needs of individuals with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
 

General Accessibility

Most traditional convention centers are built horizontally, often forcing attendees to move across long expanses to get from one setting to the next.  The vertical design of the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas puts elevators and escalators at the same point on every floor, allowing for visitors to easily orient themselves.

Curbside drop-off for wheelchairs and sidewalk curb cut-outs are located at each corner of the Convention Center perimeter. The 15-minute parking drop-off zones are located on Las Colinas Blvd and on Promenade Parkway. Push-button operated entry doors are at each entry point. More push-button entry buttons than required by law have been added to the building’s design to accommodate entry for all individuals.

Telephones, drinking fountains and restrooms throughout the building are wheelchair accessible. Large format digital signage is displayed throughout the building in case of an emergency as well as event information.

If you require more information to ensure your visit to the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is successful, please contact the organization managing the event you are visiting. You can find that contact information on our calendar of events or you may contact us at 972-252-7476.

ADA Resources

The Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities (GCPD), in partnership with the Accessibility Professionals Association (APA), named the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas a 2013 APA/GCPD Accessibility Award winner.

Public Transportation

With no development currently surrounding the Convention Center and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) station, a sidewalk has been installed as a temporary means to access the center and the area’s circulator bus system. The area transit system offers a range of accessible public transportation options. DART buses and trains offer wheelchair lifts and other features to accommodate riders with disabilities. A bus picks up/drops off curbside in front of Will Call every 15 minutes en route to the DART station.

For information about DART accessibility, please visit their website at https://www.dart.org/riding/accessibility.

Parking

Accessible parking spaces are conveniently located throughout the multiple levels of the parking garage, and always nearest the elevators. These spaces are public parking spots and are on a first come first serve basis. We cannot reserve these spaces. The hours of operation and garage rates vary, so please be aware.

  • Second floor (8 spaces, 1 is van accessible)
  • Third floor (8 spaces, 1 is van accessible)
  • Fourth floor/roof (1 space, 1 is van accessible)

Parcels surrounding the center have been utilized for overflow event parking. When overflow parking is required, and the staff knows a group’s attendees include a large number of people with disabilities, structured efforts are put in place to preserve more garage parking spaces to meet needs as best as possible.
