ADA & Universal Access Upgrades at Broadway Edison Building

Seattle Central College (SCC) requested JP’s expertise to renovate a portion of the Broadway Edison Building, creating a new entryway and universal access from the main floor corridor (aptly named “Main Street”) to a mezzanine atrium space, where the campus food services are located. The team developed its design concept and met with the Tsutakawa Fountain representatives to refine the design, eliminating railings where possible while maintaining sufficient public safety. 

Founded in 1966, SCC was the first community college in Seattle. Today it remains a leading state college located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and is one of three colleges that make up the Seattle Colleges District.
