TRANSPORTATION/ ACCESIBILITY

• Due to the relatively small size of the new
  Innovation Center, on-site parking is not
  available.
• To comply with ADA, the building will be made
  handicap accessible by widening the sidewalk to
  Patch Hall and the addition of a ramp at the main
  entrance.
• Two sidewalks will connect the building to the
  Jenness/ AEWC Parking Lot and Long Road.
• A walkway bridge will be built over the wetland
  to provide additional accessibility to and from
  the Jenness and AEWC parking lots.
