Trinity's Accessibility Project

May Update to the Accessibility Project

Much of the interior work has been stopped or slowed down due to revisions in the electrical requirements.  A new electrical consultant changed some of the costs for the electrical work which resulted in an increase in cost for the accessibility project.  A team from Trinity and the architectural firm are reviewing these specifications and looking for a more cost effective way of meeting the code requirements.

Meanwhile, all sheetrock work has been stopped until an agreement can be reached on meeting current code requirements for the electrical work. A resolution is expected before the end of May.  Once there is an agreement for the costs of the light fixtures and other electrical work and an order is placed, it will take 4-6 weeks for the equipment to arrive.  

Interior finishing work will resume after the electrical system is installed and inspected.

The elevator cab is installed. Once the sheetrock is installed, the final elevator work on call buttons and hall lanterns will be accomplished in preparation for the elevator inspector’s work.

The glass has been installed both at the elevator entrance at Vincent Hall door and the lift entrance for the chapel narthex.  The areas abutting the glass will be painted gray in the near future.

The fencing at the Memorial Garden has been removed and the area cleaned up and the landscape dressed up. 

The Trustees have been working tirelessly to bring this project to fruition in a timely and cost effective manner.  Unfortunately, there are some things they can’t control but they are working to resolve issues as they come up.
