Upcoming Events

As Electric Vehicles become more prevalent, the question arises of what to do for Access and even whether or not they are required to be accessible. Although not specifically mentioned in the ADA Standards, the prevailing requirement in the implementing regulations requires a measure of access for all. So, if an element is available to the able-bodied population, then it should also be available for those with a disability. Since there are no ADA scoping and technical requirements what do you do? California has developed new requirements implemented January 1, 2017, which is what we will look at.

Multifamily residential facilities with public and/or federal funding are quite complex in terms of synthesizing the differing regulations. This session will explore which regulations are applicable and how they’re integrated into the different building elements across the country.

Through a review of photos, regulation callouts, and architectural details, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what makes dwelling units accessible. Plus, discover how to implement and better synthesize all of the information and requirements in the early design phases rather than overlaying access in an institutional manner later on in the project.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Review what is considered multifamily residential with public funds or programs along with which regulations apply for compliance.
2. Gain an in-depth understanding of access scoping and technical requirements and how to apply these to alteration, additions, and new construction for dwelling units.
3. Examine the specific requirements and solutions for kitchens and bathrooms in dwelling units and in common-use spaces.
4. Learn about tools for evaluating multifamily building components for access under federal regulations.
