U.S. Access Board Webinar: Experiencing the Past: Accessibility in Historic Buildings and Facilities
Historic buildings and sites provide visitors with the opportunity to experience the past. Whether a 200-year-old historic home or a battlefield, historic buildings and sites give us a chance to feel what it might have been like to be where history was made, much more than just learning about historic events from books or movies. It is important that visitors with disabilities are also able to take advantage of these sensory-rich opportunities. In this webinar on Thursday, June 5, from 2:30 – 4:00 PM (ET), presenters will provide an overview of the requirements in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) accessibility standards relevant to qualified historic buildings and facilities, including basic requirements for alterations and specific exceptions for historic buildings and facilities.
For more information or to register, visit the Great Lakes ADA Center’s webinar webpage. All webinars include video remote interpreting (VRI) and real-time captioning. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the live webinar. Webinar attendees can earn continuing education credits. The webinar series is hosted by the ADA National Network in cooperation with the Board. Archived copies of previous Board webinars are available on the site.
