Overview The 2010 Delaware ADA Standards for Accessible Design provide comprehensive requirements for ensuring accessibility in the design, construction, and alteration of buildings and facilities across Delaware. These standards are based on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which were established by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The standards ensure that public accommodations and commercial facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
The 2010 edition includes guidelines for accessible routes, entrances, parking, restrooms, signage, communication elements, and more. Delaware-specific amendments are incorporated to address additional accessibility needs and regulatory requirements within the state. This code is essential for architects, engineers, contractors, and code officials involved in the design and construction of accessible buildings and facilities in Delaware.
