Enhancing Accessibility: Retrofitting for ADA and UFAS Compliance at Vendome Palms and Beyond

This project highlights the transformation of several facilities to meet ADA and UFAS compliance standards. It showcases the retrofitting processes at Vendome Palms, including pre- and post-intervention comparisons of building entries, courtyards, community rooms, and bathrooms. Key improvements involve the installation of sloped walkways, accessible entries, elevators with opposite entrances, and redesigned community spaces. The goal is to provide equal access and enhance usability for individuals with disabilities throughout the facilities.
