Accessibility Standards – ADA/ABA

  • ADA/ABA is concerned with adequate clearances, slopes, heights, etc. to allow a wide diversity of users to be able to manipulate controls and devices and negotiate routes

  • Correcting deficiencies related to accessibility may or may not be a component of DM

  • If it should have been accomplished post-1968 through construction or acquisition then it is DM

  • If it has been identified as needed to correct pre-1968 construction, purchase or alteration then it is considered to be Capital Investment
