Wheelchair accessibility

The 40+ year old wheel chair lift has been replaced with a new model that can carry up to 1,000 pounds/454 kg. Handicapped access to St. James Hall has been significantly improved and new access to the western portion of the main floor has been created.

Morrow Foundation, The John Hardie Mitchell Foundation, and The Hylcan Foundation, plus individual donors.
