Accessibility is fundamental in today's architecture practice. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies not only to new construction, but also when remodeling existing facilities—and the guidelines and exceptions can be confusing. 

In this case-study course, we'll present real-life examples of applying the ADA during renovations. Topics to be covered include:

• The challenges of knowing how and when to apply the ADA to ensure accessibility compliance
• The difference between an alteration and an alteration of an area containing a primary function
• What happens if an existing building is not being altered, and what exceptions apply when an alteration occurs
