This webinar is the first in a three part series sponsored by the Universal Design member-created community on AIA KnowledgeNet.
The ADA Design guidelines have been mandatory for commercial facilities and public buildings since 1991. But those guidelines are only the minimum requirements for persons with disabilities. The 7 Principles of Universal Design are more inclusive and could easily be incorporated as well. This course will delve into the differences between the ADA and Universal Design and how a commercial facility can incorporate both into their spaces.
Learning Objectives
1.Learn the basics of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
2.Learn the basics of the 7 principles of Universal Design.
3.Understand how both guidelines affect the environment of the disabled community.
4.Understand how to incorporate both into designs of commercial facilities.
