In September of 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice published the “2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design,” a comprehensive set of standards about designing buildings to facilitate their use by the handicapped. The publication contained two parts, one establishing accessibility laws for facilities built with public funds, and one providing guidelines for public buildings built by private entities. Since that time, numerous model codes, building codes, and published standards have been released, based in part or in whole on those standards, creating some confusion as to what exactly is required. This course is a comprehensive overview of the original guidelines and their intent.
The “2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design,” though quite lengthy, have been broken out and grouped into nine categories of information. This course, Part 1, discusses the creation of the standards and their applicability as regulations, along with additional parts of the standards addressing accessible parking facilities and accessible building entryways.
An attempt was made to simplify these regulations and present them in an orderly and comprehensible fashion. Hopefully, the resulting information will be of use in designing public accommodations and commercial facilities, making them readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- The difference between accessibility laws mandated for buildings constructed using governmental funds, accessibility guidelines for buildings built by private entities for public use, and practical exceptions to both
- Design principles to ensure parking facilities accommodate use by the handicapped
- An overview of the importance of providing accessible routes between parking facilities and building points of entry
- Materials and methods to construct walking surfaces allowing easy passage and use by the handicapped, including stairs and ramps
- An overview of design principles resulting in making vertical transportation equipment, like lifts and elevators, of better use to the handicapped
- Maneuvering clearances needed at, and between, doors and gates
