The proposed project would construct a 1,200 square-foot comfort station near the Memorial to replace several portable toilets currently used on site. The comfort station would include two accessible restrooms (men's and women's) as well as a visitor contact station, a water bottle filling station, janitor closet, and sewer lift station. The site will be totally accessible meeting applicable Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS). Improvements to outdoor lighting for wayfinding and security of the facility are also included. Efforts have been made to ensure the facility is easily visible to the public, while still being removed from the Memorial itself. Conceptual designs with the smallest possible imprint are presented below.
