The industry reflects on
its progress in the ADA's
30th anniversary year
Most of us take for granted elements like automatic doors,
ramps leading up to entrances, spacious hallways, and open floor
plans. But a little more than 30 years ago, these features were
anything but commonplace, making even the most routine outings
challenging for a wheelchair user, a person with blindness, a senior
with limited mobility, or even a mom with a stroller.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed on
July 26, 1990, under president George H. W. Bush. Its intent was
to ensure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities
to participate in the everyday activities of life: working at a job,
shopping at stores, or using government services and programs.
For the design community, it meant a lasting shift in how
designers and architects viewed a space-ensuring that it is
easy to enter and exit, and convenient to navigate inside. And
while the ADA was intended to cover only public and commercial
buildings, many designers have adopted design elements that
help a commercial space comply with ADA requirements into
residential features.
