Is ADA a building code?
For the most part the answer is yes. The ADA is a civil rights Act and only a small portion of the Act deals with building related items. Many States and Cities have adapted the International Building Code (IBC). The IBC has a section that speaks to the ADA, it outlines the requirements for buildings. It covers items such as ramps, elevators, stairs, doors, restrooms, fire alarms, etc. Several States such as Texas have their own building code that goes beyond the ADA and is accepted by the Justice department to be equal to the ADA. These codes speak only to the building portion of the ADA. To findout more visit http://www.ada.gov/ Victor Valdez, Architect /Registered Accessibility Specialist
