ACCESS' Largest ADA Detail Audit

WE have been asked about our largest ADA detail Audit.  I assume you mean the number of pages.  It was little over 1,500 pages.  The property was an older resort hotel, a little over 2,000 rooms.  There was a convention center, there was retail space, meeting rooms, restaurants, bars, gift shops and other areas.  There was also a parking garage.  There was a site with walks, restaurants, restrooms and several pools.  So, does that mean there was 1,500 building elements that were not in ADA compliance?  No that really means there was many more than 1,500 because many items updated many times.

There is no project that is to large for ACCESS to handle, even a very large University.  For your first project, ACCESS wants the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" to concentrate on single buildings, preferably a hotel, motel or time-share.  Those are good fro starters because those elements are typical in all buildings and are well defined in building code and the ADA Guidelines.

If you want to discuss further in detail, feel free to call me at (702) 649-7575 or email me at hfalstad@accessts.net.  I look forward to hearing from you!
