Built in 1968, the building was built without the modern codes and laws we use today. Some

of these factors include the first-floor apartments only being accessible by stairs and all the

terraces having a step to enter them. Overall, the building has fallen short of our codes and

desperately needs renovation.

Universal design and ADA accessibility should be seamlessly integrated into architecture,

ensuring inclusivity, equity, and ease of use for all. This project highlights the role of sustain-

able materials and innovative design in creating future-proof spaces while addressing energy

efficiency and community growth.
