So the quote for lighting is $25k? If $25k is the real price, I would agree with you. But, that seems pretty low to me. That's more in line with the cost of wiring and lighting for a private residence.
Reread my post. I didn't limit all my points to seating only. My point is that it's disingenuous to blame the seating component of the renovation to the overall ADA requirement of the entire dome when the whole amount is not exorbitant cost and not $100 million dollars. If anyone can link that figure to some credible site. It was probably mentioned by the builder or organization who is paying the bills and has no credibility.
That wouldn't meet any ADA standard. It does meet the dumb standard I guess.
why would that be? from what i know its required access to the building not to whats in the building? We have tons of buildings that had to add ramps for access, the the access doesnt get you to the elevators.
but was it using rope lights.. those are pretty cheap.
And elevators...walkers and wheelchairs don't work really well on escalators.
The ADA does not have an escalator requirement. But there probably would need additional platforms built and new elevators built. But then again its kinda ridiculous that only one small elevator exists in a 49K seat stadium anyway. Good idea that at some point in a $200 million renovation you'd want to add alot more elevators independent of mobility needs. There are no doorknobs on the Dome bathroom doors and fixtures on the sinks are fine. Probably a few more stalls needed. No concourses need to be widened because the concourses are all ready flat and accessible. Reasonable expense exclusion on ADA to not have to tear down walls and essentially rebuild the dome for any reason. Glass concourse to the front would just be cool and not required.
If true that sounds like a major problem doesn't it.
Where is there room for elevators and escalators without widening concourses?
There are no escalators!!
You think the only way to add elevators is to widen concourses?!
No, but there isn’t much room and you also have to have access on all three levels. They have to go somewhere and each concourse gets smaller.
External Elevator shafts are added to older buildings all the time. The Dome also has a bunch of back room service areas that could provide room for shafts internal to the shell too.
Legacy this is one your best efforts yet with the light vermillion sky framed by the perfect background medium to dark gray clouds and the almost completed Crown Trussed Dome in the fore ground, followed by Hendricks, and the quad on which I spent quite a lot of time on and walking over on the way to and back from class. You can frame this one!
Can someone please price out rope lights from Walmart and figure out how many we need?
