TEAMING WITH UNITED SPINAL’S ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES
“This isn’t our first football stadium or huge pro sports project,” says Kleo King, Senior Director of Accessibility Operations & Counsel at United Spinal.
“We’ve done large-scale projects in all the major sports.
We know the requirements of state and local codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act and are intimately familiar with how all people use a facility.
We are enhancing the
fan experience in every way, including wayfinding that helps people with
disabilities to find entrances, elevators, accessible restrooms, concessions
– everything.”
Accessibility Services constantly pushes for more inclusion.
King gives the example of New York City requirements for lowered bar seating.
The existing regs lacked
specificity, which resulted in the accessible spots being pushed off to the
side. They were isolated from others and became de facto server pick-up
stations.
