HUNTINGTON â Accessibility improvements are being made to a Fairfield community center with the help of students from a local technical school.
Students from the Collins Career Technical Center in Chesapeake, Ohio, worked together to make a new ramp at the A.D. Lewis Community Center to expand accessibility for community members who frequent the facility.
Mike Staton, associate director of business and industry outreach at the school, said building the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp is an opportunity for the students to learn their jobs and about community service.
âWeâre just trying to bring the center up to code and help out a little bit, and it gives these guys a good hands-on experience and a good understanding of the importance of giving back to the community,â Staton said. âItâs not just about driving nails and putting screws into boards â itâs about understanding the history and helping people, so itâs been a wonderful experience all around.â
