Building accessibility arrangements
Below please find a list of the available accessibility arrangements at the business:
JVP Jerusalem is located within the Margalit Startup City Jerusalem Compound, housed in the historic Mint Building. This iconic structure, formerly used for printing currency and safeguarding official documents during the British Mandate, has undergone extensive preservation and renovation. Today, it serves as a vibrant hub for technology, culture, and social impact, blending historical charm with modern functionality.
The compound is situated at 24 Hebron Road, at the intersection of Hebron Road and David Remez Street. The area is well-serviced by public transportation, with the HaChan / David Remez bus stop located approximately 100 meters away. This stop is serviced by several major bus lines, including 7, 72, 74, 75, and 78, providing convenient access from different parts of the city.
The primary entrance on the southwest corner of the building features two steps and a narrow doorway, making it inaccessible for individuals with mobility challenges. However, there is an accessible entrance located less than 50 meters along the side of the building, near the main gate to the compound. This entrance features a step-free and wide gateway that can be opened wide enough to accommodate vehicles. This gate has no ramps or thresholds, ensuring easy access.
A parking spot immediately adjacent to the accessible entrance for pick-up and drop-off can be reserved through the reception desk. For assistance, visitors can contact reception at +972 2 640 9050 or use the buzzer at the gate to request entry. Upon entering, visitors will find wide double doors on the right that lead into the main floor of the JVP building. To the left, there is a marked elevator providing access to all floors, including basement levels, ensuring full accessibility for individuals with mobility needs. The elevator has buttons with raised numbers and braille to allow use for the sight impaired. Clear signage is posted throughout the building to aid navigation.
Each floor has clearly marked restrooms; however, the accessible restroom is located on the second floor, in the main JVP office. Kitchenettes on floors 0 and 1 are fully accessible, while the kitchenette on floor 2 has a narrower entrance. All offices, meeting rooms, and common areas are designed to accommodate wheelchair access, with doorways at least 1 meter wide. The waiting room and all other seating areas feature wheelchair-accessible seating. There are no thresholds between rooms, ensuring smooth transitions for wheelchairs or walkers. The building does not currently have assistive technologies, such as hearing loops or other auditory aids, at the front desk or in meeting rooms. Stairwells throughout the building are equipped with secure railings, providing safe access for individuals without mobility impairments. For visitors requiring additional assistance, reception staff can provide guidance and support to ensure a comfortable visit. If you have any specific accessibility needs or require additional information before your visit, please reach out to our reception team at the contact number provided.
In case of any further need whatsoever, please contact the accessibility coordinator according to the details specified above or the service representatives at the reception to get any necessary assistance.
