Beyond Code Minimums: Designing Accessible Kitchens and Bathrooms

Between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA), Section 504, and general building codes, housing standards can be confusing for those with nondiscrimination requirements under the law as well as individuals with disabilities looking to live independently or age in place. In this webinar, attendees will learn practical design standards that go beyond minimal code compliance—so you can recognize quality accessibility when you see it (or request it when you don't). Our speakers will share a Reference Guide and Kitchen and Bathroom Prototypes that they developed to reflect an inclusive design approach to plan for accessibility in any housing type. This session would benefit architects, builders, developers, planners and community development professionals, municipal officials who review plans and anyone invested in housing that serves people across their lifespan.

When accessibility is built in from the blueprint stage, everyone gains the freedom to age in place and adapt their homes as needs change. We're all aging. Let's design for that reality from day one.

Individuals may submit questions for the speakers consideration in advance during the registration process.
