Solving Accessibility Challenges in Historical Buildings
Historic buildings possess unique charm and cultural significance, often serving as physical links to our past. They’re filled with the designs of times gone by and memories of events long past.

Updating these buildings to meet modern accessibility standards involves navigating a complex landscape of building codes and historical preservation requirements while balancing efforts not to detract from the physical appearance.

Accessibility Enhancements at the Davis Rodeo Ranch
The Davis Rodeo Ranch is the proud training facility of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Coach for the team known as the Carolina Cowboys. Located in Archdale, North Carolina, the Davis Rodeo Ranch is owned by the 1995 PRCA World Bull Riding Champion, Jerome Davis. When thrown from a bull in 1998, Jerome suffered paralysis from the chest down. Living life in a wheelchair after the injury has never held Jerome back. He has continued to be a force in the bull-riding world and coaches the Carolina Cowboys. Recently, EZ-ACCESS® and Penrod Medical Equipment helped make the Davis Rodeo Ranch more accessible through custom-built commercial ramps.
