Starting March 15, 2012, new federal ADA Standards for Accessible Design are in place and are available on the US Department of Justice and the US Access Board websites. As UO has not yet updated our guidance, design teams are to consult these new standards as well as the Oregonized ADAAG, which is based on the previous standard, for guidance on application of universal access principles in the use of federal accessibility standards.
Until our new written materials are in place, where conflicts occur between these two, please consult with Campus Planning & Real Estate staff, in particular Fred Tepfer or Cathy Soutar, for guidance.

This annotated version of the ATCTB's Americans with Disabilties Act Accessibility Guidelines is a work in progress, although it may be useful to you in its current unfinished state. For an unannotated version of this document, consult the web site of the ATCTB (The Access Board) at http://www.access-board.gov.
Please note that text in green italic represents annotations related to work on the University of Oregon campus. Annotations as OSSC: in yellow are for coordination with OSSC, the Oregon state building code (a version of the Uniform Building Code). Annotations in dark blue preceded by UD: represent advice based on the principles of Universal Design. For more on this subject, refer to The Universal Design Handbook, McGraw-Hill, 2001.
Please also note that this is a living document that will be updated periodically as ADAAG is modified and as experience adds to our knowledge base here on campus
Currently, annotations do not occur in Section 6, 8, 10, 11, or 12.
Please contact Fred Tepfer, (ftepfer@oregon.uoregon.edu) author of these annotations as well as much of the hyperlinking, with comments and questions, or use the input form linked from his home page.
