Historic Landmark Facility Accessibility Survey

Historic Landmark Facility Accessibility Survey

The Northwest School

We were contract to perform an accessibility survey of the main school building, an historic landmark, the dormitory, and leased cafeteria facilities. Certain aspects of the building are registered, including classroom doors and the end stairs. The school building has two main floors, and a series of levels below that, but does not have an elevator. We recommended an elevator in a key location that would provide access to almost all levels, The remaining ones would require a wheelchair lift. All of the work should be able to be accommodated within historic landmark restrictions. The main entry has a steep ramp following grade that we believe can be revised to be compliant without changing the overall appearance of the façade. Surveys were performed during school session without disruption to classes.
