Show I. SITEWORK A. BARRIER FREE ACCESS 1. Existing Condnions: Two stairless sidewalks give wheelchair access to the building: the east and south entries. The southeast entry has three steps but is a secondary entry. A wheelchair curb cut is needed in the streetside sidewalk due east of the main east entry. The west exit doors have stairs but are not for public egress. a. B. GRADING AROUND PERIMETER WALLS 1.
