The Access Alert is our occasional, free electronic newsletter intended to keep our clients and colleagues informed of timely issues related to accessibility for people with disabilities.

The newsletter usually alerts readers when new accessible design standards are published, important legal settlements or judicial decisions are announced, and new resources to support compliance with state and federal access requirements are published.

The 2007
AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE
is here!

 

Throw away your outdated, 2003 guide, and replace it with the updated 2007 AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE to the AAB, ADAAG, and (new in this edition) FHA. At last, a single reference that tells you which accessible design standards apply to your project, and which are more stringent. No more leafing through three, large code references. You only need one – the 2007 AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE to the AAB, ADAAG, and FHA.

The 2007 AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE includes the complete text and illustrations of the Rules and Regulations of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (521 CMR). The guide incorporates federal accessible design guidelines when they are more stringent, including:

  • Americans with Disabilities Act Accessible Design Standards – 1994 enforceable standards known as ADAAG
  • Americans with Disabilities Act Accessible Design Guidelines – ADAAG amendments through 2002
  • Federal Fair Housing Act Design Guidelines for multifamily housing

To get your 2007 AT-A-GLANCE GUIDE just download and complete our pdf order form.

With questions about your order, contact Julie Garland-Powers.
