Monthly Program: The New ADAAG - The 2010 Standard for Compliance with the ADA

It has been almost 20 years since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). There have been little changes to the guidelines, but many interpretations have been offered by the Department of Justice (DOJ), who enforce the Federal Law. The new guidelines or "2010 ADA Standards" as they're known, contain significant changes in addition to providing additional direction for compliance. These standards will be optional starting March 15, 2011 and mandatory on March 15, 2012. Kerwin Lee, AIA will give an overview of the changes and how that will affect the design and built community.

Join us after the program in the AIA East Bay Chapter Office for a wine and cheese networking reception.
