BY PAULA BURKESDisabled OKC architect worked to incorporate ADA into projects Q: Can you give us an example of some of the access requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act? A: Providing an accessible path into the building from parking areas, public sidewalks or public transportation access points. Aisle way widths in stores with appropriate open areas for a person to be able to turn around or change direction. Vertical reach limits for the placement of outlets, switches and other controls. Clear space requirements around plumbing fixtures as well as requirements for the arrangement and clear space necessary at doors.
