Includes general provisions, specific requirements (e.g., construction/alterations, barrier removal, auxiliary aids), and guidance on accessibility in places of public accommodation and commercial facilities. The ADA Standards for Accessible Design—along with the Title II regulations and Title III regulations—specify what is required for a building or facility to be physically accessible to people with disabilities. The Standards cover newly constructed buildings and facilities, alterations, program access in state/local government buildings, and removal of architectural barriers that are easily accomplishable. It also explains terms like 'architectural barriers' and 'readily achievable', and notes the relationship to other ADA guidance and regulations. Versions of the ADA Standards include the 1991 Design Standards, the 2010 Design Standards, and Guidance to the 2010 Standards.
