The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Episcopal
Chappaqua, New York
Universal Access
As of September 2012, St. Mary’s is proud to have completed a Universal Access plan that truly opens our doors to allow everyone entry to the Church sanctuary.
The completed project includes:
New walkways to the Parish House and the sacristy door at the rear of the Church, a ramp with handrail leading to a landing at the sacristy entrance, a widened door allowing handicapped access from the sacristy into the Church transept, a new Parish House entry which eliminates steps, and a fully-refurbished, unisex handicapped-accessible bathroom.
Additionally, new walkway lighting, improved floodlighting around the grounds, a new bulkhead and stairway leading to the Church basement, and stairs with a handrail leading to the Memorial Garden have enhanced the general safety of all our parishioners.
