Grace Auditorium at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Description

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Grace Auditorium is located at 1 Bungtown Road, off Northern Boulevard, in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. The paved parking lot has a number of handicapped parking spaces, but not all are located immediately next to the main entrance of the Grace Auditorium Building.

Two sets of double doors at the street level entrance lead to the spacious lobby. The auditorium itself can be accessed without steps if necessary.  Wheelchair seating is available up front.

Multi-stall, handicapped-accessible restrooms are located on this level as well as the lower level.  We did not see any baby-changing stations.

A bookstore/gift shop, is located on the lower level.  There is an elevator to get there. We do not know if drinks and/or snacks are available when there is a concert or lecture. There was no seating in the lobby on the day we visited.

If you are here for a campus tour, note that there is lots of walking involved, as well as steep paths, and many steps (both inside the buildings and out).

One can drive the roads of the campus to view many of the buildings and enjoy the views of Cold Spring Harbor.
