Many churches and places of worship were originally constructed without accessibility in mind. Steps outside, or changes of level inside are commonplace.

If you’re wondering how to welcome everyone, there are a number of solutions offered by Savaria.

Our Sacred Access brochure showcases some real-world projects to get you started.

V-1504 Enclosure installed at ambulatory of Our Lady of Immaculate Cathedral.

The V-1504 enclosure lift offers wheelchair access unobtrusively inside the beautiful Our Lady of Immaculate Cathedral.

Westminster Presbyterian church, retrofitted a Savaria V-1504 VPL inside a hoistway to provide reliable ingress to every floor.

To serve multiple levels indoors, the V-1504 or Prolift wheelchair lifts are installed in a shaftway for an elevator-style feel with a value-conscious budget. Local Savaria dealers are familiar with the code requirements in your area and can provide a free site assessment to review your building and recommend the best options for your needs and budget.
