Description: A two-day course (1.2 CEU) on the 2018 Illinois Accessibility Code.
The newly adopted 2018 Illinois Accessibility Code is the basis for this two day class designed to assist designers, inspectors and plan reviewers in its proper use and application. The unique format of this class uses the code to clarify requirements, a custom workbook to illustrate requirements, and a variety of photographs and illustrations to show “what can go wrong” during design and construction.
Day one outlines the Public Health Act 25/Environmental Barriers Act, accessibility standards for public buildings, facilities, and real property, enforcement of the code, the scope of the code, building blocks, and accessible routes.
Day two continues with specialized areas including staircases, drinking fountains, kitchens and sinks, toilet and bathing facilities, signs, telephones, ATMs, and the specific requirements for certain areas including transportation areas, areas of assembly, medical care facilities, transient lodging, storage, amusement rides, outdoor recreational areas, and swimming pools and spas.
Learning Objectives:
- Assist the inspector, design professional or plan reviewer in the appropriate use and application of the code
- Be able to determine the appropriate use and correlating accessibility requirements
- Defines the dimensions for both adults and children
- Provides definitions to terms utilized in the code as well as options for terms not defined within
