Prospect House Renovation

Jan. 25, 2024

Prospect House, while being one of the Universities most beautiful and visited spaces, has largely been one of the most inaccessible. This project will radically change the accessibility of and access to the building and grounds. Improvements throughout Prospect House will make the building more accessible, including:

  • A single ADA accessible front entrance
  • Accessible restrooms throughout the facility
  • Accessible lever design door hardware
  • Reconstruction of the South Terrace to provide ADA access from the interior
  • Modification of existing thresholds to be accessible
  • Integration of the existing elevator into front-of-house to make lower, ground, and second levels accessible
  • Floor plan reconfiguration to provide continuous accessible paths on the lower-level and second floor
