Know!   
                2 contact hours

The focus for this class is on ADA Guidelines and ANSI A117.1
 for building interiors.  This class covers the changes that
were made with the Revision of the Americans With
Disabilities Act, July 2004 and compares it to the ANSI
documents that are part of the 2006 International Building
Code.  It covers a brief history of accessible building codes
and the general building blocks needed for updated reach
ranges, restroom clearances, and signage.  The new ADA
format is also reviewed and discussed along with the
inclusion of the Architectural Barriers Act.  The class explains
which jurisdictions have already adopted the new ADA
guidelines, which rules can be used immediately without
adoption and which will have to wait for the adoption of the
building codes.
