CPA-PEI provides funds for accessibility improvements to Main Building
| News
Health Minister Doug Currie, and Charlene Stevenson and Brian Doucette, of the Canadian Paraplegic Association-PEI Division (CPA-PEI), recently presented Paul Cudmore, UPEI Accessibility Committee, with a cheque for renovations to Main Building.
With financial assistance from the CPA-PEI, UPEI will make the Main Building, the oldest building on campus, more accessible for people who have disabilities. The funding will allow the university to make the second-floor bathrooms more accessible by widening the doors and lowering the mirrors, sinks and urinals.
These upgrades to the Main Building fall under UPEI’s seven-year plan launched in December 2007 to make the campus more accessible to people with disabilities. Other improvements that will be made to the building include upgrading the elevator, widening doorways and renovating the first-floor bathrooms.
