Accessibility Seminar: The Existing Building - Access Within & Without

The nature of our practice has changed with a higher proportion of renovation and re-use. Under the ADA Standards the there are differing requirements for new construction versus alteration. Since these are federal laws local public agencies can only offer limited direction. We will review criteria for existing facilities in regard to scoping to acquire a better sense of the implications of the law and how it applies. We will cover a range of concepts such as Program Accommodation vs Barrier Removal, Proportional Spending, Safe Harbor, and Path of Travel obligations.

An overview of existing buildings for public entities & places of public accommodation per ADAS and CBC from Barrier Removal to Program Accommodation including alteration requirements whether or not construction is scheduled.
