Watts was appointed
to advise on
accessibility issues at Brighton and Fontwell Park Racecourses in light of the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and the extra requirements coming into effect
in October 2004. The client utilised the reports to assist in the development
of their building management strategy and capital expenditure forecast, and to
create a specification of upgrades and improvements, which they then sought to
implement on a phased basis.
Watts
carried out a detailed audit of the racecourses and gained an understanding of
how
the occupier interfaces with the public and other visitors. The racecourses already
made certain provisions for disabled staff and visitors,
however, the client required Watts to identify the remaining accessibility
problems and provide short-term and long-
term solutions. |
