2 Disclaimer Information, materials, and/or technical assistance are intended solely as informal guidance, and are neither a determination of your legal rights or responsibilities under the ADA, nor binding on any agency with enforcement responsibility under the ADA. The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center is authorized by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) to provide information, materials, and technical assistance to individuals and entities that are covered by the ADA. The contents of this document were developed under a grant from the Department of Education, NIDRR grant number H133 A110020. However, those contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government. 2

3 New Construction and Alterations All new construction and alterations to existing facilities (those built before the ADA) must be readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. 3

4 Existing Facilities Facilities built before the ADA are not required to make their property structurally accessible if they can provide non-structural program accessibility to their services, programs, and activities. If non-structural program accessibility is not possible, then structural accessibility must be provided unless it would result in undue burden or fundamental alteration. 4

5 What do you think? A public school was built in 1985. It has five main entrances, three of which are accessible. It is about to undergo renovations on the side of the building that has one of the inaccessible entrances. Since the building already has three accessible entrances and was built before the ADA, it does not have to renovate that entrance to be ADA-accessible. Is this correct? 5

6 Overview of Design Standards — Who Should Follow What? 6

7 State & Local Building Code Official Each state has its own building codes, which are based on the International Code Council (ICC) — set minimum standards for each state Some states have stricter regulations than ICC For new construction or renovations to existing facilities you must contact your building code official first & follow the most strict code *Exception: State Agencies don’t have to contact their code official because they write their own building permit 7

8 U.S. Access Board & Standards for Accessible Design The Access Board is a federal agency that develops accessibility standards The Department of Justice (DOJ) actually enforces them. Formerly called ADAAG, they are now known as the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design. The Standards cover everything from signage, to bathrooms, etc. 8

9 2010 ADA Standards of Accessible Design The 2010 Standards related to construction and alterations must be complied with from 3/15/12 and beyond. Access complete information at: http://www.ada.gov/2010ADAstandards_index.htm 9

10 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design Minimize compliance burdens on entities subject to more than one legal standard Harmonize with the federal standards implementing the Architectural Barriers Act with the private sector model codes that are adopted by most states 10

11 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design Element by Element Safe Harbor: Elements in covered facilities that were built or altered in compliance with the 1991 Standards are not required to comply with 2010 Standards until the elements are subject to a planned alteration. Similar safe harbors were adopted for elements associated with the “path of travel” to an altered area. 11

12 Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) Standards for facility accessibility for federal and federally-funded facilities Standards are to be applied during the design, construction, and alteration of buildings/facilities Can be accessed at: www.access- board.gov/ufas/ufas-html/ufas.htmwww.access- board.gov/ufas/ufas-html/ufas.htm 12

13 Important Point! When doing new construction or alterations, up until 3/15/12, Title II entities could use either the ADAAG or UFAS depending on which worked best for them. Now, all new construction or alterations must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design 13

14 Design Priorities Getting to the door (parking, route, entrances, and doors) Accessing the service (merchandise, food, services inside the establishment) If public bathrooms are available, be sure there are accessible ones 14
