Map Overview

From left to right, you will find the DART, rail platform and Luas, with the accessible toilets and Connection Café closer to you.

In the centre of the map, furthest from you, is the plane and airport area. Moving towards you from the airport is the rough terrain area and park.

On the right-hand side of the map are the coach, taxi and bus.

Legend

The legend is at the bottom of the map, closest to you. It is shown in both text and Braille and is divided into two columns.

The left column identifies the main features of the Centre, including reception, toilets, training rooms, the building line and the Dog Spending Room.

The right column identifies the six transport modules:

1 is the bus, 2 taxi,3 coach, 4 plane, 5 Luas and 6 DART.

Now we will begin at the entrance and explore the map in an anticlockwise direction.

Place your finger at the gap in the building line at the top of the legend. This is the entrance.

Reception and Training Rooms

From the entrance, move your finger to the right.

You will reach Reception, marked by the large, raised letter R.

Continue moving to the right and you will reach the Training Rooms, identified by the felt material.

Continue to the right to reach the building line at the far-right side of the map.

Dog Spending Room

Move your finger straight up, away from you, following the building line and you will reach the Dog Spending Room.

Here you will feel a small patch of grass and the raised dog symbol.

Now leave the Dog Spending Room and move to the left.

You will reach the pavement.

There is a small patch of grass beside the pavement. This is the sensory exercise area.

Bus, Taxi and TARDIS

From here, continue straight up, away from you, along the pavement.

You will reach the bus shelter.

There are two transport modules beside the bus shelter.

To the right of the bus shelter is the double-decker bus, marked with the raised number 1.

To the left of the bus shelter is the wheelchair-accessible taxi, marked with the raised number 2.

Continue straight up along the pavement, moving slightly to the right.

You will reach the TARDIS.

Streetscape and Coach

Past the TARDIs, to the left is a crossing point.

You can identify the crossing by a dip in the pavement and raised glossy stripes.

Continue through the crossing and you reach a small traffic island.

Continue moving left to cross a cycle lane and reach the pavement again.

Now continue towards you, along the pavement.

Halfway down the pavement, you will find another crossing on your right, leading to the coach.

The coach is marked with the raised number 3.

Rough Terrain and Park

Moving back to the left, continuing towards you, you will reach the rough terrain area.

Move your fingers across the rough terrain area.

You will feel a variety of uneven surfaces and stones.

Below the rough terrain area is a park, represented by a grassy area.

Airport and Plane

Directly above the rough terrain area, off the pavement, is the airport.

Inside the airport, there are several raised objects representing the bag carousel, check-in area and security scanner.

Continue moving up through the airport.

You will reach the airplane, marked with the raised number 4.

DART, Rail Platform and Luas

Continue beyond the airplane until you reach the building line at the top of the map.

Now follow the building line to the right until you reach the corner.

At the corner move down towards you.

You will reach the DART carriage on the right, marked with the raised number 6.

To the right of the DART carriage is the rail platform.

The platform slopes down at both ends.

To the right of the rail platform is the Luas carriage, marked with the raised number 5.

Toilets and Connection Café

From the rail platform, move down the slope towards you.

Coming off the pavement to the bottom-left corner of the map.

You will reach the accessible toilets.

Moving to the right, is the Connection Café.

Inside the café, you will feel a raised right angle for the kitchen counter.

Continuing the building line to the right of the café, you will return to the entrance, where you started.

This completes the walkthrough.
