5 AIA LU|HSW Available

Updated this year to reflect the new technical accessibility requirements, this presentation will cover both the new requirements and all the basic concepts that are remaining unchanged in the 2017 version of the A117.1. These two classes will cover topics from basic accessibility concepts to minimization of risk. The presentation will provide clear and relevant information on major subject areas. Part I will include applicable standards, Scoping for publicly funded projects, basic concepts, and public bathrooms. Part II will be residential bathrooms, kitchens, and a primer on risk assessment. Presented in a logical progression, you will learn the majority of issues that arise during the design and construction phases. Also, presented will be multiple solutions to resolving these common issues taking into account aesthetics, price, and level of tolerable risk.

These two courses meet the California ADA continuing education requirements.
