From my experience, you don't have to worry about getting any sort of
legal exception to any ADA requirements--just ignore them and gently hint
to the person requesting accomodation that his or her job is in jeopardy
if he or she insists! Really, it works every time! If it's a member of
the public who is making the request--well, unless they have money or
connections, who cares?
Now, supposedly, public institutions don't get grandfathered from ADA
regulations so likely you will have to put in that elevator--but unlike
Borg opponents you, if you really are totally without concern for a
public (of which you will likely find yourself a part in 30 years or so)
will find that resistance is not only not futile, but the only way to go.
