Published on July 31, 2019 by Nick Walsh

This one-hour course by Instructor Roger Peck will help you understand the importance of circulation pathways and ADA requirements for lodging, dining, courthouse, and public transportation facilities.

The ADA is one of the United State’s most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in mainstream life. The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements for construction design.

This one-hour video course will cover the eighth chapter of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, Special Rooms, Spaces and Elements. The material for this course is presented by simple narration and PowerPoint video presentation, including on-site, real world video examples in various accessible buildings used by both the public and private sector.

Course Objectives:

• Recognize the importance of adequate circulation pathways for disabled persons in special spaces and public facilities.
• Identify the ADA requirements for lodging, dining, courthouse, and public or private building.
• Outline at least one design strategy based on ADA standards for the construction of either a public or private building.
