The Erie County Legislature has approved the first of several Erie Community College contracts to bring all three campuses up to federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards, costs that will eventually total several million dollars.
When a college gets federal dollars, federal inspectors show up occasionally to take a look. For ECC's City Campus, that inspection was in 2017. Inspectors found problems, particularly ramps and bathrooms.
"As far as width of the ramp, the pitch of the ramp, how steep it is to make sure it’s safe for both our students and our staff, as well as visitors coming onto our campus," said ECC Interim President William Reuter.
