2024 2-Hour Spring Webinar | Education - Considerations for Implementing Access Requirements
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
ADA compliance in the higher education arena can be a complicated endeavor: Projects of multiple ages and changing uses, lengthy renovation history, overlapping requirements, complex funding mechanisms, and a continuing interface with a changing public combine to create a challenging environment in which to comply with accessibility requirements.
Our recent series of projects with a number of public and private institutions have highlighted useful design strategies and construction oversight techniques that have resulted in better compliance and significant savings, limiting tear-out and rework - all to the benefit of the design teams, contractors, districts and their effective stewardship of available funding.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Participants will be able to:
- learn some of the most significant design and construction issues of non-compliance;
- explain some key design methods to accommodate construction tolerances;
- provide recommendations for ongoing inspections and verification during construction;
- discuss strategies for prioritizing projects when considering which issues to address.
