We were tasked with converting one of the one-bedroom elderly housing units of Cole Court in Holliston to be AAB/ADA Compliant, in other words, designed for universal access. The design needed to conform to HUD Severe Use design guidelines as well as DHCD design standards. The bathroom was renovated to include a zero clearance roll-in shower with a flush trench drain. We designed the space with both geriatric and bariatric design principles in mind. We have since been hired by the Holliston Housing Authority to renovate another 15 units.
