The Kane County Chronicle reports:
(Renovations) included the installation of an elevator to allow access to all building levels; an upgraded air conditioning system for the first and second floors; ADA-compliant bathrooms on all levels; renovated kitchen facilities; reconstructed entry access to an outdoor terrace; a pergola awning over the east ramp entrance; and flooring, carpeting, and storage upgrades.
"These improvements allow us to accommodate more functions and events than we've been able to in the past," said Cabel. "An attractive east-side ramp access and elevator service throughout the building is important to people coping with mobility challenges and makes the building more functional for caterers or vendors who need to bring in equipment or other large goods."
