NASA's Columbia Accident Investigation Board identified simplistic thinking from an over-reliance on PowerPoint presentations as a contributing factor in the Columbia shuttle
disaster. (New York Times Magazine 12/14/2003)

Why provide access?
• It is the right thing to do
• The value of diversity
• The Law
![Page 11: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It Is The Right thing To Do
• Social Interactions define society and individuals
• Impairment is a dimension of human experience
• A society is no better than how it treats its most vulnerable persons
![Page 12: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Diversity
• Disability is both unique and ubiquitous
• Disability is a catalyst for innovation
• Individuals with disabilities control over $175 billion in discretionary spending.
![Page 13: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A History of Exclusion
• The Nazi T4 movement (the extermination of people with disabilities) set the stage for the Holocaust
• The eugenics laws of the Nazis were based on American science and law
• The last state eugenics law was repealed in 1968• Ugly Laws; Columbus 1972; Chicago 1974 • Public Schools could refuse disabled students until
1975; public colleges until 1978.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
“No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in
the United States, as defined in section 7(20), shall,
solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded
from the participation in, be denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance or under any program or activity
conducted by any Executive agency or by the
United States Postal Service.”

Basic Civil Rights Objectives of Section 504 and the ADA
• End isolation of persons with disabilities
• Secure equal opportunity
• Ensure equitable treatment
• Foster independence
• Prevent a hostile environment

Provide equally effective access to programs,
benefits and services for qualified individuals
with disabilities in the most integrated manner
possible

From: XXXX Design ArchitectSent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 8:51 AMTo: University ArchitectCc: Department Chair, University Engineer, ADA CoordinatorSubject: Phase I: Plan Review
This area is illustrated on the attached plans, Rm.#42T, is an existing non-ADA-compliant toilet room, that we have deliberately not included in the scope of this project, to avoid the need to make it compliant. The door to this room swings outward into the passage (Rm. 42B) that now serves as egress for the on rooms 42 C,D & E. The passage is now a path of egress so the outward door swing is not permissible. If we change the door swing, we will be modifying the bathroom, which would then require an upgrade to ADA status.

Universal Design Approach
• Person-Environment Interaction
• Maximum Usability
• Efficient Functioning
• Flexibility
• Aesthetics
• Cost
Requires Mindful Creativity of the Designer
![Page 40: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

• “Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.”Ron Mace
• The intent of universal design is to simplify life for everyone by making products, communications, and the built environment more usable by as many people as possible at little or no extra cost. Universal design benefits people of all ages and abilities. UNC Center For Universal Design

Universal Design is:• Market driven• A process not a goal• Minimizing incompatibilities between conditions of people
and their environment• About form and function• Incorporates awareness of all users needs• Comfortable & safe for widest possible range of potential
users• Inclusive• Requires the mindful creativity of the designer
Universal Design is not:• Compliance with minimum accessibility regulations• Adding on a ramp or accessible features• One size fits all

• Flexibility in Use
• Clear and Intuitive Use
• Perceptible Information
• Tolerance for Error
• Low Physical Effort
• Size and Space for Approach and Use

Equitable Use
Welcoming to diverse groups; provides for equivalent if not identical participation and effort.
Consider characteristics such as height, weight, strength, vision, hearing gender, language and cultural/background of all potential users.
![Page 47: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Flexibility in Use
Adaptability of the spaces over time and uses.
Flexibility in control by the users in interacting with specific elements and functions
![Page 48: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Simple and Intuitive Use
Provides consistent forms, locations, and cues for way finding, operation or interaction.
Understandable to the novice and efficient for experienced users with diverse experience, cultural backgrounds, languages and educational levels
![Page 50: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Perceptible Information
Communicate information effectively across the spectrum of ambient conditions (light, sound, activity) using a variety of modalities (tactile, visual, auditory, linguistic).
![Page 51: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Tolerance for Error
Minimize hazards and the adverse consequences of unintended actions, variations in pace, or vigilance.
Provide warnings or fail safe features when needed.
![Page 53: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Low Physical Effort
Efficient building systems.
Minimize user fatigue by reducing the need for sustained physical effort, allowing for neutral or ergonomic body positioning and reasonable operating forces.
![Page 55: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Size & Space for Approach and Use
Appropriate space to approach and reach across the full range of user heights, sizes and relative position.
Appropriately sized elements to allow manipulation across a range of hand sizes, reach ranges and positions.
![Page 57: Pending ADA Regulations & Local Government Facilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cbb550346895db9c5fd/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
