Designing for The 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design in Multiple Building Types

A guide to real-world applications of The 2010 Americans with
Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design


Applying the ADA helps architects and developers
understand better how the rules for eliminating barriers in the
built environment apply to everyday life and how to best implement
them in the design and construction of a broad variety of buildings
and facilities.


By showing how The 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act
Standards for Accessible Design have been applied in various
contexts and building types, this extensively illustrated guide
helps readers quickly understand the requirements of the standards
and how to apply them to both new construction and renovation.
Written by an architect who consults regularly on accessibility
issues for design professionals, building owners, and facility
managers, this user-friendly guide features 100 photos and 150
drawings that take the guesswork out of applying the standards to
real-world projects. Building types covered include:



  • Healthcare and senior living facilities and hospitals

  • College and university facilities

  • Elementary and high schools

  • Hotels and other transient lodging facilities

  • Amusement parks and play areas

  • Historic preservation and remodels

  • Retail and office spaces


Applying the ADA is an indispensable resource for
architects, interior designers, owners, developers, and facility
managers. It is also important reading for students of architecture
and interior design.
