The ultimate reference to the latest ADA and ABA Accessibility
Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities
Architects, interior designers, engineers, facility managers,
and related building professionals will find this to be a handy
guide to the latest "Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility
Guidelines (ADAAG)," as published by the U.S. Access Board in the
Federal Registry in 2004 and subsequently updated. As this book
went to press in 2010, the U.S. Justice Department was expected to
soon adopt the latest ADAAG, as covered in this book.
These guidelines have been revamped to offer more cohesive
architectural guidance that improves the accessible design of
buildings for individuals with special needs. Learn what the
essentials of these revised guidelines are with this handy
reference--what has changed, what hasn't, how to apply the
guidelines, and what effect they will have on both the public and
private sectors--with:
An easy-to-use format that follows the same organization as the
actual revised ADAAG, with the revised numbering system, updated
scoping, and technical provisions
A chapter focused on the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), which
is specific to those dealing with federal buildings and facilities
funded by the federal government
Special commentaries on crucial or hard-to-understand examples,
with photographs that illustrate practical applications of the
guidelines, written by an architect who is an accessibility expert
that consults regularly with design professionals, building owners,
and facility managers
"The ADA Companion Guide" combines the complete ADAAG and ABA
guidelines with explanations, commentary, and illustrations,
offering easy-to-follow guidance on how to eliminate unnecessary
architectural barriers for persons with disabilities.
