Getting around the building

DCA is in the heart of Dundee, with great links to public transport. You can find out more on our How to Get Here page. 

When you arrive, there's lots to discover across our three floors. Read on to find out more about the different areas of DCA, and don't miss our Visual Guide and Accessibility information to help you along the way too.

There is level or lift access to all public areas of the building. If you wish to use the lift at our Greenmarket entrance to enter DCA and the doors are closed, please use the buzzer to request access and our team will be happy to help.

DCA's main entrance on Nethergate opens onto our Ground Floor. Here, you'll find our Box Office, where you can book tickets, pick up information, and make enquiries about our events and facilities. Our Shop is nearby, filled with beautiful products from Scottish designers and artists. 

The Ground Floor is also home to our two Galleries, where you can see the latest exhibitions, and our Create Space, a free space to be creative and get inspired, open to all ages.

You'll find toilet facilities to the right of Box Office, with an accessible toilet and infant feeding and changing room to the right of that, just before you reach our Information Space. Outside of these facilities there is a dispenser offering free period products.

Head to the Lower Ground Floor to see a film at our Cinema – we have two screens showing a huge range of films. 

Jute Café Bar is here, at the heart of the building, open from 10:00 until late every day.

The Print Studio can be found on the Lower Ground Floor too – head this way if you have booked a workshop or a tour of our state-of-the-art facilities.

On this floor you'll also find toilet facilities, including an accessible toilet with baby changing facilities. Free period products are available from dispensers in these facilities.

Up on Floor 1, the Meeting Room is used for special events including Learning workshops and the popular DCA Film Quiz! This large bright space is also popular for private hire events.

Head to Floor -1 if you're going to a workshop in our Digital Suite, or if you're meeting with our friends at Creative Dundee. To access this floor, you can use the passenger lift, or take the stairs down from Jute Café Bar. 

Centrespace is a large space used for special events, pop-up exhibitions, and private hires. Take the passenger lift to Floor -3, or follow the stairs down from Jute Café Bar.
