Fund Office, al. Jana Pawła II 13, Warsaw
The building has an entrance at al. Jana Pawła II 13. There is one large step in the front of the entrance, marked with a contrasting tape on the edge. On the left side of the building (from Śliska Street), there is a wheelchair ramp. You can get to the ramp by a wide pavement from both ul. Śliska and al. Jana Pawła II.
The entrance door is automatic and marked with two contrasting tapes.
There is a reception desk and security staff on the right in the building. The reception desk and the office desk on the ground floor are not lowered. There are toilets for persons with disabilities on the ground floor and all other floors. There may be minor inconveniences due to the failure to maintain a maneuvering area of the minimum dimensions of 1.5 m x 1.5 m, the location of dispensers with soap and paper towels.
There is an information board in contrasting colors (black letters on a white background) in front of the entrance.
There are also notice boards on the right, behind the reception. A difficulty may be related to these boards' height - the advertisements are illegible for a person in a wheelchair.
On the left to the entrance, there are information points for persons running a business, agricultural activity and companies using PFRON support, as well as employers obliged to make contributions to PFRON. The desk heights and space are sufficient.
Parking place
