This webinar is part of the ADA Academy
Architects play a pivotal role in shaping environments that are aesthetically pleasing, inclusive, and accessible to all. Understanding the latest ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements and embracing Universal Design principles is crucial for architects in creating spaces that accommodate diverse needs and abilities. ADA compliance ensures that buildings and public spaces are accessible to individuals with disabilities, fostering equal opportunities for participation in society.
Navigating the needs of a more sensitive and inclusive workspace requires the entire design and build team to understand not only what is required but also why ADA compliance remains relevant and important.
This AIA-accredited continuing education webinar is tailored for architects and engineers seeking advice and knowledge on designing and implementing ADA compliance for commercial buildings.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain updates to the latest ADA and how they impact the built environment.
- List the attributes of Universal Design and explore how they can contribute to a healthier and more inclusive occupied space.
- Recognize the benefits of ADA requirements beyond simple compliance.
- Discuss how design plays an integral part in the creation of a safe, productive, and inclusive space for all members of society.
