ADA in Details, Second Edition provides a visual interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards. A comprehensive guide to incorporating accessibility thru bullet points and visual details, the book is a convenient go-to reference of pertinent scoping, technical requirements, and sourcing information. It highlights requirements for path of travel, vertical circulation, toilet rooms, and alterations. It also covers specialty uses such as assembly areas, kitchens, site elements, hospitality, retail, restaurants, and recreational facilities.

This revised edition now integrates the 2010 ADA Standards with the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), the 2022 California Building Code (CBC), and the 2017 ICC A117.1 Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. The book uses color to differentiate between the different standards and codes, and now includes photos for real-world examples.

ADA in Details, Second Edition, includes:

• Color-coded comparisons between the ADA, IBC, CBC, and ICC A117.1, which help in understanding how to navigate the different requirements in accessibility
• Visual details and bullet point specifications for both newly constructed and existing facilities are color coded to identify which requirements apply
