5/1/2006 - GSA Adopts New Accessibility Standards

New Accessibility standards adopted by GSA will soon govern the design of new or altered GSA buildings.  The Standards, which are based on the new ADA/ABA Guidelines apply to the design and construction of new facilities and altered areas of existing facilities subject to the Architectural Barriers Act, which ensures access to buildings that are federally funded.  Leased GSA property, however, will not fall under the new standards until February 2007.
