AIAOC Presents
ADA Historic Buildings Walking Tour
Join AIAOC for a tour of two historic adaptive reuse buildings at Chapman University – the Sandi Simon Center and the Lydia D. Killefer School, as case studies on how to comply with the Historic Building Code when renovating buildings, while adapting design components for current accessibility codes. This program complies with the AIA Framework for Design Excellence – Design for Change.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn how to add current accessibility code regulations to an historic building without impacting the California Historic Building Code.
Participants will learn what historic features must be maintained when implementing accessibility code upgrades.
Participants will observe existing accessibility barriers and discuss how to modify them to comply with accessibility codes.
Participants will learn how new health and safety design for inhabitants is integrated into an historic building.

Accessibility:
This is a walking tour that includes two buildings, separated by approximately mile. Tour attendees should be dressed appropriately (sensible shoes, etc.) to navigate that distance in addition to touring the buildings themselves.
One of the two buildings is accessibly non-compliant and slightly damaged. It has steep ramps and non-compliant handrails. Attendees would need to climb a short flight of steps and be able to step over damaged flooring in order to fully experience the before renovations portion of the tour.
If someone needs assistance to join this tour, please email AIAOC by June 8 to discuss arrangements.
