The next webinar in the Access Board’s monthly series will take place April 5, 2012 from 2:30 to 4:00 (ET) and will review “building block” provisions in Chapter 3 of the ADA and ABA Standards. This session will cover requirements for ground and floor surfaces, turning space, clear floor and ground space, knee and toe clearances, protruding objects, reach ranges, and operable parts.
Whether you follow the 2010 ADA Standard or the Architectural Barriers Act Standard, the application of the “building block” provisions contained in Chapter 3 are critical in designing accessible elements and spaces. These provisions provide criteria for ground and floor surfaces, turning spaces, clear floor and ground spaces, knee and toe clearances, protruding objects, reach ranges, and operable parts. This session will review how to apply these criteria and provide guidance on some common errors in design.
