DC Conversion & ADA Upgrade

This project involves converting the building’s use to accommodate updated operational needs. The scope of work includes remodeling both the men’s and women’s bathrooms to achieve full ADA compliance. In addition, an existing storage room will be renovated and repurposed as a dedicated janitor room to support building maintenance functions.
