There is a freight elevator that opens onto the main, second and third floors for loading and unloading furniture and equipment. However the elevator is not always available, and has two heavy doors which must be manually lifted to be operable.

The second floor bathrooms are located in the hallway and are wheelchair accessible. however the building has installed key locks on the bathroom doors making entry into the washrooms more difficult as the doors are heavy.
