 Advisory 11B-224.7.2 Accessible dwelling units with adaptable features. Units with mobility features at housing at a place of education are required to comply with the standards for transient lodging in the ADAS by the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) in its regulatory requirements in Section 35.151 of 28 CFR Part 35 and Section 36.406 of 28 CFR Part 36 however, housing at a place of education is not a transient lodging facility.

ETA Editor's Note

The following Access Board Note was taken from ADA Title II §35.151(f) New Construction and Alterations; Housing at a Place of Education, and ADA Title III §36.406(e) Standards for New Construction and Alterations; Housing at a Place of Education. Wording from both sections is the same.

For the purposes of the application of this section, the term "sleeping room" is intended to be used interchangeably with the term "guest room" as it is used in the transient lodging standards.
