This training will prepare you to design hotels and other places of lodging in Washington, DC that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Scoping and technical requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards will be covered as they apply to guestrooms, reception areas, swimming pools, restrooms, parking, and guest lounges.

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

- Apply scoping requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards to hotels and other places of lodging, including the proper number and dispersion of accessible hotel guestrooms
- Understand the key technical requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards that apply to the design of hotel guestrooms and public-use areas
