Accessibility for Multi-Family Housing
|
This one hour continuing education course for architects, engineers and interior designers is intended to educate the reader on the fundamentals of accessibility requirements for multi-family (apartments) developments. The Fair Housing Act which requires equality in housing was passed in 1988, however, it was not until 1991 that construction guidelines were actually published for builders to follow. The original guidelines, called the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, contain seven requirements. This course discusses these requirements as well as requirements imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) .
After completing this course you will have a better understanding of:
- Which accessibility regulations and/or building codes apply to multi-family construction;
- The basic fundamental requirements of applicable codes and regulations, and;
- The design and construction of multi-family projects in accordance with accessibility regulations and avoidance of costly errors.
