Someone asked if it would be possible to install automatic doors at the front of Blackstone South to make the building more handicapped accessible. Here’s the answer from FMO Director Jeff Smith:
"The courtyard entry at Blackstone was redesigned as part of the renovation project in 2006 and meets all of federal, state, and local accessibility requirements for the permitted building use. The accessibility features include the wheelchair accessible ramp, as well as the door design and pull handle heights. Additional assistance entering the building can be signaled by using the fully accessible intercom located at the entry. As for installing automatic doors, it’s certainly an idea that will be considered."
