Renovation of a manufacturing facility in Blakely, Pennsylvania. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 516-square-foot, one-story above grade manufacturing facility.

Blakely Borough Recreation Complex ADA Restroom Project This project will consist of complete removal of all existing bathroom fixtures, partitions, lighting and plumbing to allow for realignment of the facilities to accommodate current ADA Standards. The existing building, as originally constructed, will not meet current ADA standards. New sinks, toilets, urinals, partitions, piping, mirrors, and light fixtures will be added, including toilets and sinks that are the correct height to fulfill current ADA Standards. A new acrylic floor will be provided to allow for a smooth, level surface because of the relocation of the bathroom amenities. The interior renovations need to be accomplished to allow for the expansion and relocation of the ADA restroom partitions to support current ADA Standards. The exterior concrete walkways will need to be removed and replaced to remove existing barriers and incorrect slope that exceeds current standards.
