The new Building Accessibility Handbook reflects the BCBC 2018 accessibility requirements. It is a separate resource that provides explanatory text and illustrations to support code users to better understand and apply the complex code requirements to make buildings more accessible.
Some key changes include:
- A refreshed title to reflect the intention of the handbook, which is to support universal design and access to and throughout buildings;
- Incorporating BCBC 2018 accessibility design requirements as well as intent statements and attributions to provide the reasons for requirements and support Code application;
- Renewed commentary, to increase clarity and readability, and illustrations, to represent diverse building occupants; and
- Links to leading standards, programs, and resources to provide additional accessibility guidance.
