MILLENNIUM PARK FOUNDATION
Chicago’s 25-acre Millennium Park earned a Barrier-Free America Award from the Paralyzed Veterans of America — presented to architect Edward K. Uhlir, executive director of the Millennium Park Foundation.
The park’s original grandiose design
featured lots of grand staircases and other elements that were not conducive to
universal design.
The late Uhlir is credited with working with additional
designers to greatly increase accessibility via ramps, gentle slopes and
barrier-free play areas.
