  1. A community center installs a new drinking fountain. The building serves both ambulatory and wheelchair users. What configuration is required under ADA Standards §211.2?

    Answer: One hi-lo fountain unit or separate hi and lo fountains serving the same floor

    ADA Standards §211.2 requires drinking fountains to serve both wheelchair users (spout max 38" high) and standing users (spout 38"–43"), achievable with a hi-lo unit or two separate fountains at the same location.

  2. A consultant evaluates a newly constructed bank. ATMs are located at 50 inches above the finished floor for the highest operable part. Is this compliant and why?

    Answer: Non-compliant; operable parts must be no higher than 48 inches for a forward reach

    ADA Standards §309.3 limits the high reach for operable parts to 48 inches for forward reach, so an ATM at 50 inches is non-compliant.

  3. During a post-construction inspection of a medical office, the consultant finds that the accessible restroom door requires 10 lbf to open. ADA Standards set a maximum for interior door opening force. What is that maximum?

    Answer: 5 lbf

    ADA Standards §404.2.9 limits interior door opening force to 5 pounds-force maximum for accessibility compliance.

  4. A building has a protruding wall-mounted object with its leading edge at 75 inches above the floor. A person who is blind could walk into it. Under ADA Standards §307, is this a hazard?

    Answer: No, objects with leading edges above 80 inches are not a hazard to cane users

    ADA Standards §307.4 states that objects with their leading edge at or above 80 inches do not create a protruding object hazard because they are above the sweep of a cane.

  5. A hotel is assessing its communication features. A guest who is deaf contacts the front desk to request visual notification devices. Under ADA Standards §806.3, what is required in accessible guest rooms?

    Answer: Visual alarms, visual notification devices for the doorbell and phone, and a visual smoke alarm

    ADA Standards §806.3 requires accessible guest rooms to have visual alarms, visual notification for the telephone and doorbell, and visual smoke alarms.

  6. A consultant is reviewing accessible parking at a strip mall. The access aisle between two accessible spaces is 5 feet wide. Is this compliant for standard accessible spaces?

    Answer: Yes, 60 inches (5 feet) is the minimum required aisle width for standard accessible spaces

    ADA Standards §502.3 requires access aisles for standard accessible spaces to be at least 60 inches wide; van-accessible spaces require 96-inch aisles.

  7. A newly constructed apartment complex has 120 ground-floor units. Under the Fair Housing Act's design and construction requirements, how many units must meet accessible design standards?

    Answer: All 120 ground-floor units

    The Fair Housing Act requires all ground-floor units in buildings without elevators (and all units in buildings with elevators) to meet the seven accessibility requirements.
