The scope of work for this project also involved increased barrier-free accessibilities including power door operators, universal washrooms, accessible entrance and ramp, and barrier-free washrooms. The patio area includes a ramp and stairs leading to grade level where new asphalt paving, curbs, sidewalks and landscaping was created to improve the exterior of the site.<\/p>\n
