Construction of the canopy would improve the accessibility of the Cancer Center for patients and their families. Patients could be dropped off at this covered area during inclement weather. Wheelchair and walker patients will benefit from the changes to the grade of ramps and curbs. There will be a safer, more convenient access to the building, particularly for elderly patients.
