One Button, A Big Difference!
We are excited to share that automatic door openers have now been installed at our building, thanks to accessibility improvements championed by Bluegrass Council of the Blind!
Through funding provided by the City of Lexington, Ky - Government and the cooperation of our landlord, this upgrade will benefit all who visit or work in our shared building. Home to several other organizations, including the Down Syndrome Association of Central Kentucky (DSACK) and the Central Kentucky Apartment Association, this is truly an improvement for our entire community.
While many of the people we serve are blind or visually impaired, accessibility often benefits far more people than we realize. Automatic doors make it easier for people using wheelchairs, walkers, or guide dogs, and they're also helpful for anyone carrying boxes, moving furniture, or juggling coffee and a laptop on their way to work.
With the push of a button, the door opens automatically, creating a more welcoming and accessible space for all!
We're grateful to the City of Lexington for investing in accessibility and to our landlord, Switzer Development, for making this improvement possible. Small changes can open big doors, and this one will make a difference for years to come!
We also want to thank Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, Mayor Linda Gorton, Lexington's 10th District - Councilmember Dave Sevigny, and Access Lexington!
