Document Description
The project consists of ADA improvements at Metropolitan State Hospital, including renovation of selected restrooms, sidewalk and ramp improvements to facilitate path of travel, and installation of handrails, hardware, doors, and drinking fountains. The project also includes installation of a total of seven elevators for the 200 Series Buildings, each to be located off from the west ends of the buildings, except for the elevator serving the Police Building that would be located immediately south of the building. The design for the elevators was modified based on comments and recommendations from the State Office of Historic Preservation to ensure compatibility with the historic integrity of the 200 Series Buildings. No trees will be removed at the facility for this project.
