Katowicka for autism

In our Centre on the +1 level, next to toilets located by the Reserved shop, there has been a dedicated room for people with impaired social functioning resulting from the autism spectrum. The room was created in accordance with the guidelines and standards recognised by the Metis Regional Methodological and Educational Centre in Katowice, with which Galeria Katowicka cooperates.

The Quiet Room is intended for people who, as a result of their current state of health, require temporary relaxation of tensions. They report the need to cope with their emotions and their behaviour as a result of unfavourable circumstances, i.e. too much stimulation.

Access to the room via video intercom.

Familiarise yourself with the rules for using the room.

Every Saturday from 9AM to 11AM we turn off the music throughout the Gallery so that our ASD customers can enjoy their shopping experience in a more comfortable atmosphere.

At your request, retailers in selected shops will dim the lights and turn down the music (regardless of Quiet Hours).

List of ASD friendly stores

We provide customers with ASD with silencing headphones. They can be collected free of charge at the Info Desk on level 0 (at the entrance from 3-go Maja Street).

SERVICES

Belonging to GreenWay Polska Sp. z o.o., the Delta charger is a fast charging station that enables three vehicles to be charged simultaneously: two with direct current (DC) and one with alternating current (AC). Charging a 20-40 kW battery takes a maximum of 40 minutes, depending on the charge level and battery capacity. Delta allows the charging of all electric vehicles compliant with the standards: CHAdeMO, CCS and AC Type-2, which practically means all brands of electric cars on the market. Depending on the station configuration, the first two standards allow direct current (DC) charging – i.e. fast charging up to 50 kW, and the last standard allows alternating current (AC) charging – i.e. slower, up to 22 kW.

Knowing the parameters of our vehicle, we can calculate the time it will be charged using the following formula:

Charging time = battery capacity / charging power
