A Clean Slate Hygienic Public Restroom Design with WELL

Sponsored By Zurn Industries, LLC.

Presented By Steve Hillier

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour
1 IWBI WELL Specific

Now more than ever, public restrooms must be clean and comfortable for all users. However, exactly what that looks like has been up for debate. Join us in this one-hour course as we make the case for multi-stall public restrooms that address users’ concerns of privacy and hygiene through partitions, fixtures, hand dryers, and beyond.

Learning Objectives:

Identify emerging trends in public restroom design and how multi-stall restrooms address users’ concerns of privacy and hygiene
Evaluate partition materials and types to ensure public restroom stalls are designed to be safe, sustainable, and accessible for all users
Illustrate how touchless restroom fixtures promote sanitation and water efficiency
Demonstrate how warm air hand dryers equipped with HEPA filters can encourage proper hand hygiene and sustainability

Accessible Elegance: Railing Systems + ADA Code Compliance

Sponsored By Livers Bronze

Presented By Lee Kirby

1 ADA Accessibility / Barrier-Free Req.
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

Handrails and guardrails are a safety feature that we easily take for granted as a common fixture in environments where stairs and balconies are featured, aiding us in our coming and going.

Learning Objectives:

Determine the specific conditions that mandate the installation of ADA-compliant handrails for various environments, including stairways and ramps, to ensure compliance with accessibility regulations.
Clearly outline the required dimensions, such as height, width, and clearance, for ADA-compliant handrails and explain how these measurements contribute to creating accessible and user-friendly spaces.
Analyze key railing specifications, including material selection, gripping surfaces, and installation standards, while reviewing how these aspects align with broader ADA code requirements.
Assess the specific requirements for railings on ADA-compliant ramps and stairs, focusing on details like slope, landing, and handrail continuity to ensure structures meet accessibility standards.
