ACCESSIBLE GUESTROOM DESCRIPTIONS 

Edith Macy Center guestrooms were built in 1982 pre-dating the ADA.  There are 5 guestrooms in our two closest buildings where accessible features have been added where possible.  It is important to note that none of the bathrooms in these rooms have full wheelchair turning radius available. 

Rooms 100, 101, 200, 201 and 202 have certain accessible features.  All rooms have a 3-foot wide, inward swinging entrance door.  Each have two double beds and bathroom doors that swing outward into the guestroom to provide more bathroom space.  Showers have a two-inch floor lip, handrails, integrated shower seat, handheld showers and toilet seat handrails. 

These rooms are positioned closest to the entrances of each building and can be accessed by ramps from the main center.
