This is a federal civil rights law that applies to all public commercial buildings and businesses in the United States. Sometimes, a commercial remodeling project can prompt certain needs for ADA compliancy improvements. You see, Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act obliges public and commercial properties to meet their minimum standards for accessibility. See our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/blog\/modern-wheelchair-accessibility-options-for-commercial-properties\/\">ADA Compliant Wheelchair Accessibility Options for Commercial Properties<\/a>\u201d to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When ADA Compliant Improvements are Necessary During a Commercial Remodel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your building have a primary function space? This is the area of your property where the majority of relevant business operations take place. Such spaces can include a wide range of areas, both interior and exterior. Examples include lobbies, auditoriums, cafes, bathrooms, entry ways, exits, and more. When preparing to initiate a remodel of a primary function space, such as a lobby or office, you will likely need to adjust your plans to accommodate ADA guidelines. If any barriers to accessibility exist after developing a remodeling plan, such barriers must be redesigned in order for the property to be ADA compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Here are some examples of areas that might need to be addressed in a commercial remodel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u267f Door Frame Widths<br>\u267f Water Fountain Heights<br>\u267f Hand Railings and Grab Bars<br>\u267f Handicap Ramps<br>\u267f Automatic Doors<br>\u267f Doors With Accessible Buttons<br>\u267f Accessible Parking<br>\u267f ADA Bathrooms and Break Rooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping a commercial property ADA compliant is not a one-and-done project, but rather, and ongoing initiative as guidelines and technologies evolve in the construction and building industry.
