BARRIER-FREE ACCESS
Washington State Barrier-Free Access
Checklist For State Leased Facilities, New and Renewals
Universal Access - Universal design or inclusive design is an approach to the design of products, services and environments to be as usable as possible by as many people as possible regardless of age, ability or situation. It links directly to the concept of an inclusive society, its importance is recognized by governments, business and industry.
Integrated setting - Examples: 1. Entrances that have one path of travel for people w/ disabilities or those who are temporarily able. Use sloped incline rather than ramp and stairs. 2. In fixed seating areas, (auditoriums, theatres) provide accessible seating
throughout. Provide seating that does not obstruct views.
This checklist was developed by Real Estate Services (RES) with the assistance of the Governor's Committee on Disability Issues and Employment (GCDE), members of the disability community, and client agencies. This is a tool to help State government comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), WAC 51-50, International Building Code (IBC) and ANSI 117.1.
It is important to note that meeting these checklist criteria will not, by itself, ensure that tenant agency programs, employment, and facilities are in full compliance with ADA and the other applicable laws. RES will assist tenant agencies in assessing and achieving program accessibility in leased facilities, the tenant agency has ultimate responsibility for providing accessible services and programs.
