Frying Pan Park ADA Lift & Detached Restroom
Herndon, VA
Fairfax County Park Authority desired to bring Frying Pan School House into ADA compliance. SWSG provided site surveys and prepared construction documents for modifications which included the demolition of the existing detached toilet facility, renovation of the toilet rooms, construction of new accessible detached toilet facility, and installation of an incline-plane wheelchair lift. The lift provided ADA access from grade to the first floor. Non-destructive thermal imaging was used to determined which original plaster walls were replaced with gypsum board. SWSG also designed a hard-surface ADA trail system to the detached restroom facility.
