New ADA Standards to Take Effect in 30 Days
The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design went into effect on March 15, 2011 and compliance is required by March 15, 2012. The standards are designed to ensure signage has maximum accessibility to all people. All signage in new or altered state and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities must be compliant with these standards after that date. Sign manufacturers, environmental graphic designers, and architects must understand the requirements as they relate to room identification signs, directional and information signs, typography, spacing, height, and other ADA guidelines. On Thursday, Feb. 23, ISA is offering an AIA accredited course (1 CEU) via webinar that will educate you about the new Standards and prepare you for the deadline.
