The Architectural Access Board is responsible for ensuring that all public buildings are accessible, functional, and safe for use by individuals with disabilities. The Board enforces rules and regulations that ensure that any new construction, renovations, reconstruction, alterations, and changes of use meet the accessibility standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Board. The Board also provides training and technical assistance to the building, architectural, and disability communities.
