(T)raum Räumlichkeiten

Where is the (T)raum located?
The (T)raum is located in Zurich, District 9. The exact address will be shared after successful registration.

Is parking available?
There is a parking garage nearby.

Is the space wheelchair accessible / barrier-free?
Unfortunately, the (T)raum is not fully wheelchair accessible. It is located in the basement and requires going down approximately 10 steps. A stable handrail is available on one side. The break room is on one level, and the workshop room has a small step of about 5 cm. Both areas can be accessed with a wheelchair.

Is there an elevator?
Yes, but unfortunately the elevator is only accessible via a staircase.

What are the restrooms like?
There are two restrooms: one is rather narrow, and the other is very spacious. Both have standard doors.

What will we be sitting on?
There are chairs without armrests that can also be used for the workshop. In addition, there are cushions, faux fur mats, and floor mats that can be used flexibly. You are welcome to bring anything you need to make yourself comfortable.

Is it possible to spend the (lunch)break in the (T)raum?
Yes, you are welcome to spend your breaks in the (T)raum. You may use both rooms for this.
In the practice room, there is a small kitchenette with a kettle, coffee machine, plates, and cutlery. There is also a small refrigerator that everyone may use. Additionally, there is a large table, chairs, and a comfortable sofa.

Is there an option to buy food nearby?
There are shops as well as a few take-away options about a 5 to 10-minutes walk from the (T)raum. On Sundays, the selection is limited, as many places are closed.

Is there a place to store jackets, bags, and shoes?
Yes, there is a wardrobe area in the practice room where you can store your belongings and change clothes. For more privacy, the spacious restroom is also available.

Is there a shower?
Yes. Please bring your own towels.

What if I need a break during the workshop?
You can take a break at any time and use the practice room for this.

Are there windows, and can they be opened?
Our rooms are located in the basement and have windows. These can be opened for ventilation. For privacy, they are covered with frosted window film.

Noise levels
We do our best to minimize all unnecessary noise. However, the following sounds may be noticeable:
– a soft humming noise from the heating system
– water pipes running through the space (e.g. when toilets are flushed or someone is showering)
– sounds from outside, such as children playing or passing cars (30 km/h zone)

Stimming & movement
A selection of stimming tools is available in the (T)raum. We make an effort to provide quiet stimming toys in order to support a calm shared environment. Stimming is welcome and may be used in ways that feel supportive to you, as long as it remains considerate of the group. Movement in the space is always okay. You are welcome to stand up, stretch, change seats, or move in other ways, guided by your own needs and by what is happening around you. Self-regulation and mindful self-care are supported and respected.

Food, blood sugar & medication
Eating and drinking are allowed in all of our rooms. We take regular breaks. In addition, you are always welcome to take extra breaks whenever your body or nervous system needs them.
If you need to store medication that requires refrigeration, a shared refrigerator is available. Please feel free to label your medication or keep it with you if that feels more comfortable for you. Please inform the course facilitator and, if necessary, other participants about any medication that may need to be administered in an emergency.

Is it possible to stay overnight in the (T)raum?
Overnight stays in the (T)raum are not possible.

If the workshop lasts two or three days, can I leave my personal items in the (T)raum during that time?
Yes.
