The City of The Colony, TX, a vibrant community nestled in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, embarked on an ambitious project to transform a former elementary school into a state-of-the-art senior center for its residents. However, the existing building access and parking facilities were not ADA compliant, presenting a significant challenge that needed to be addressed to ensure safe and inclusive access for all community members.
To tackle this issue, the city contracted with the construction team at CI Pavement to undertake a comprehensive renovation of the site. The project involved the removal and replacement of over 21,000 square feet of concrete, an undertaking aimed at achieving proper grading and ensuring safe access for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges

The scope of work extended beyond mere concrete replacement. New ramps were meticulously installed to provide smooth transitions and easy access to the building. To enhance safety and support, more than 230 linear feet of sleek stainless steel railing was erected, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Recognizing the importance of a welcoming environment, the project also included significant landscaping improvements. A lush 1,600 square yards of new sod was laid, creating an inviting green space for seniors to enjoy outdoor activities and relaxation.
To complete the transformation and ensure compliance with accessibility standards, the team implemented comprehensive striping and signage throughout the parking area. These crucial elements not only guide visitors but also designate appropriate spaces for those with special needs. The result of this extensive renovation is a modern, accessible senior center that stands as a testament to The Colony’s commitment to its older residents. By repurposing an existing structure and bringing it up to current accessibility standards, the city has created a valuable community asset that will serve generations of seniors for years to come

This project exemplifies how thoughtful urban planning and dedicated construction efforts can breathe new life into existing structures, transforming them to meet the evolving needs of a community while prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity for all residents. Partnering with CI Pavement and our concrete service team made this dream a reality that was delivered on time and on budget.
