What makes a building handicap accessible?
A handicap accessible building is designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Features may include ramps and wide doorways for wheelchair access, elevators with Braille buttons, grab bars in restrooms, designated parking spaces, and visual and audible fire alarms. The design of the building must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which sets the minimum standards for accessibility. ADA guidelines require that buildings must be fully accessible, with no obstruction or barriers, and provide easy access to essential facilities, services, and programs. Providing handicap accessibility is a significant aspect of creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for all individuals.
