Overview The 2015 Florida ABA Standards for Accessible Design provide comprehensive requirements for the design, construction, and alteration of buildings and facilities to ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities. These standards apply to facilities covered by the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), including federal buildings and certain other facilities that receive federal funding. The standards address a wide range of accessibility features, including accessible routes, entrances, doors, restrooms, signage, and communication elements.
The 2015 edition aligns with the federal ABA Standards and incorporates Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique conditions and regulatory requirements. This code is essential for architects, engineers, contractors, and code officials involved in the design and construction of accessible facilities in Florida.
