Renovations to the 1898 Story Chapel provide ADA accessible, modern, high quality restrooms to the public.
The restrooms integrate and highlight the historic features of the chapel such as the existing stained glass windows and ornamental trim. Two new genderless single bathrooms provide free access to all, and are particularly appreciated by walkers and bird watchers visiting the grounds. Amenities include a drinking fountain and bottle filling station, baby changing station, information bulletin board, air conditioning, and touchless soap dispensing and hand drying.
A second phase of renovations to the chapel is now underway, which will provide ADA accessibility to the lower level offices and Columbarium.
