The ADA Standards have changed… is your building compliant? BOMA’s Guide to the 2010 ADA Standards specifically addresses the next generation of accessibility rules and regulations. A follow-up to BOMA’s groundbreaking 1991 publication, ADA Compliance Guidebook, A Checklist for Your Building, the guidebook helps property professionals understand and implement the revised Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards implementing Title III of the ADA, adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2010, which took effect on March 15, 2012. The guidebook includes updated requirements for accessible routes and a variety of building elements, including employee work spaces, restrooms, reach ranges, sales and service counters, stairways, telephones, special rooms and spaces, recreation facilities and much more. The Guide to the 2010 ADA Standards is authored by Lawrence G. Perry, AIA.
