Emmanuel Baptist Church, Brooklyn, NY

Description:
Project Team
Designed a wheelchair ramp at Emmanuel Baptist Church between Saint James Place and Washington Avenue in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. The ramp addressed the special needs of the elderly, physically impaired, and wheelchair users when entering the church's two-story sanctuary portion. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and Clinton Hill Historic District.
The ramp meets the client's wishes while complying with landmark guidelines. It serves the community by providing an accessible, non-mechanical entry solution. The ramp blends seamlessly into the existing environment and color coordinates to match the three-story Gothic Revival landmark's existing stone base. Francis H. Kimball designed the church in 1887. To implement the construction, two original wrought-iron light posts, situated at the entrance of the church, were relocated a few feet from their original position. The existing foliage was temporarily removed, preserved, and replanted following the ramp's final installation to conceal and integrate the new ramp partially.
