Analysis:
The Edison Community Center was constructed in the early 1970s. Modifications are needed in order to improve accessibility, safety, and energy efficiency of the lobby areas and activity rooms. A remodel of the lobbies and classrooms will update the centers, improve accessibility and flow, and reduce the likelihood of falls. A remodel of the restrooms will improve use, and the addition of the ramp will bring the area into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
