Construction Plans for Our Building As mentioned last month, in order to further enhance the comfort and safety of everyone who uses our facilities, our building will soon undergo some much needed improvements! This will include modernized rest rooms, a repaved area in front of the building, small patio seating near the front entrance, an enhanced front staircase and ramp that will be ADA compliant, an awning above the steps for rain protection, a roomier hallway entrance to the building, an enhanced front desk area, a new lobby area, new office windows and a re-paved, re-striped parking lot. During construction, which we hope to begin sometime in October, access to the building will be re-routed to the front door of the building facing the During construction, street. Our front office staff will be housed in the access to the building Conference Room, which will be where you check in, sign up for trips, etc. will be re-routed to
Please keep in mind that the construction the front door of is just temporary, and while inconvenient, the building facing the end result will make your future visits to FiftyForward Madison Station the street. much more enjoyable. As soon as we know a start date for the project, we will be sure to let you know through phone, email and Facebook. We plan to keep you informed of all aspects of this project as the work moves forward to completion. Please don’t hesitate to call or come by with any questions you may have!
