Fidelity Investments

Stuck Disability Designs was retained by Pembroke Real Estate the Real Estate division of Fidelity Investments to provide them with a complete analysis of the exterior and interior of Ygnacio One, Two and Three a business complex located in the Golden Triangle area of Walnut Creek, California  Walnut Creek, California. Areas of inspection were the doors, parking garage, signage, stairs, bathrooms, lighting, paths of travel and availability of services to the disabled community. As a result of the evaluation signage for office directions were improved by adding Braille and offset lettering, stairs required railings with curved extensions at the end of the stairway, bathrooms were inspected to have insulation around any exposed plumbing and signage for handicapped was implemented, paths of travel were marked by the international symbol of handicapped, a monitor with a call button was installed at the entrance but the most important aspect of this project was the height requirements for underground parking was changed permanently by legislation. Stuck proved this by researching the type of vehicles that the parking garage would accommodate finding that since the introduction of Chrysler’s minivan was introduced very few high top vans were being used by handicapped individuals due to the popularity of drop floor vans.
