Yes the 'new' part of A17 is now open, so the entrance is immediately when you get off the elevator instead of walking down the hall. Nice they have a self serve soda station and it is up to date looking and a bar you can sit at. Plus the automatic door to the bathrooms are nice.
The other part as mentioned is being renovated and when done will open and be connected to the part that is accessible now. FYI - showers were already added several years ago to the original side, they just never opened since Covid hit.
