The firm is finishing up design documents for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades at the six-level Mission Valley area stadium owned by the city.

The firm is coming up with a design that cuts through existing concrete structural framework to provide enlarged custom elevators that can accommodate four and six wheelchairs and companion persons. By locating the elevators outside the existing structure, the impact on thestructure's framework will be reduced.
