Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? We are proud that the accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are at the forefront of what we do, no matter the project! In the Mid-Atlantic, our special projects teams focus on renovation projects where we have added wheelchair lifts and new glass elevators in old buildings to bring them up to code, upgraded restrooms and conference spaces to ensure countertop heights meet ADA compliance and built outdoor spaces, ensuring all sidewalks and ramps are properly graded. Inclusivity for all is a top priority in our spaces! #RelentlessAllies #DisabilityPrideMonth #SpacesForAll #BalfourBeattyMidAtlantic

Today we celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (#ADA). This milestone has transformed society and workplaces, enhancing access for people with disabilities. At Aleut Federal we recognize that accessibility goes beyond physical accommodations. It includes valuing and prioritizing the needs and perspectives of those with non-apparent disabilities such as #neurodivergence, #chronicillness, #hearing & #visual impairments, and #learningdifferences. We strive to make the world and our workplace more accessible. Together, we can create a more equitable and supportive environment for all. • • • #ADAAnniversary #Accessibility #InclusiveWorkplace #HappyNationalDisabilityIndependenceDay #jobopportunities #accessiblework #governmentcontractor
