Stairs, Stairs Everywhere - Series Post #8

Remember:  The existing Clubhouse was a relic of the addition/construction phase of 1909 and no upgrades had been made since the 1930s.   The American Disabilities Act (ADA) went into effect in 1990.   Therefore, HSA problem solved for accessibility, streamlined circulation, and associated safety (all code-required under ADA) - an extremely daunting design challenge within the constraining and outdated complex split-level interior.  The structure consisted of SEVEN different levels within a FOUR-story building.  The required elevator was added as part of the rear addition. HSA custom designed the BGC mural alongside the stairs.   The renovation of the beautiful central stair corridor straddled the line between maintaining and modernizing; history and safety.
