Restroom Renovation In Basement
We have started the renovation of the restrooms in the basement. We are also adding a new ADA compliant restroom as well.
The contract was signed and the work has already started and good progress has been made. The basement is closed for public access now and will be reopened once the project is completed.
The renovation will include replacing the flooring and tiles in both the existing restrooms. Along with it, we are also planning to add new touchless amenities for your convenience.
We will also be adding a new ADA compliant bathroom, which will be the culmination of our Accessibility Project.
