Where  have  we  seen  this  before  

Examining  the  chapters  

Chapter  2  Scoping  Requirements  

Moving  right  along  

Chapter  3:  Building  Blocks   Chapter  4:  Accessible  Routes  

Chapter  5:  General  site  &  Building  Elements  

Chapter  6:  Plumbing  Elements  &  FaciliQes  

Chapter  7:  CommunicaQon  elements  &  Features  

Chapter  8:  Special  Rooms,  Spaces  &  Elements  

Chapter  9:  Built-­‐In  Elements  

•  Chapter  10:  RecreaWon  FaciliWes  

Is  there  a  ‘Grandfather’  clause?  •  ‘10  regulaWons  provide  a  

“safe  harbor”  for  building  elements  that  comply  with  ‘91  standards,  unless  being  altered/renovated  

•  Of  course  if  there  were  no  standards  in  ‘91  for  a  building  type  then  there  is  no  exempWon,  e.g.  play  areas,  swimming  pools,  dwelling  units  of  residenWal  faciliWes  

Program  Accessibility  

•  As  of  3/15/12  program  accessibility  will  be  measured  with  reference  to  ‘new’  standards  

•  Title  III  requires  barrier  removal  to  the  extent  it’s  “readily  achievable”  

•  Title  II  requires  that  programs  be  accessible  in  their  enWrety-­‐  unless  it  creates  an  “undue  burden”  or  “fundamental  alteraWon”
