Commander’s Action Line_26

Q Why is the Ramstein Arts and Crafts Center not handicapped-accessible? The activities that go on in the Arts and Crafts Center certainly could improve the quality of life for disabled persons.

A  I  know firsthand this is an important issue – several in my family have had to rely on handicapped-accessible facilities. Unfortunately, the Arts and Crafts Center was built in 1981 before the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed, mandating handicapped-accessible entrances. In these situations, we will incorporate handicapped access when significant renovations are scheduled to these facilities. Since this building is only 27 years old, we have not yet scheduled a major renovation project for the facility. When we do, we will add in the handicapped access.
