Currently, there is only one west side entrance to building IF-688, and it is located in the A-wing of the facility. With the large west side parking lot, it is desirable to install an additional west side vestibule entry in the passageway between the A-wing and B-wing of the facility. Installation of an outside metal staircase in the dock area would also allow access to and from the west side parking lot through the west basement entrance of the B-wing. The proposed action would install a 7' X 9' X 10' high aluminum-framed and glass vestibule entryway on the west side of the passageway between the A-wing and B-wing and install a 12' outside metal staircase with two landings and hand rails in the dock area.
