Historic Preservation: Accessibility
1-Hour | Only $26.95
Historically, most buildings and landscapes were not designed to be readily accessible for people with disabilities. In recent years, however, emphasis has been placed on preserving historically significant properties, and on making these properties-and the activities within them-more accessible to people with disabilities. With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, access to properties open to the public is now a civil right. This 1-hour interactive online course assists historic property owners, design professionals and administrators in evaluating their historic properties so that the highest level of accessibility can be provided while simultaneously minimizing changes to historic materials and features. This course lays out specific preservationist-oriented solutions that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other related accessibility legislation.
