2014 Winter Olympics/Paralympics

Sochi, Russia

SSA was hired by the 2014 Olympic/Paralympic Committee for Sochi, Russia, to help create the initial access bid draft for the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games, as well as assist in preparing for the presentation.   SSA also completed a Transition Plan for disability access for the City of Sochi and Krasner Pollyanna, creating checklists to inspect/survey, identify, schedule and plan for required barrier removal at existing facilities, plus training in checklist use. The President of Sochi 2014 stated, “Everything we do for the Games regarding transport, roads, venues and infrastructure will become a blueprint for a barrier-free environment for the whole country.”
