Built Environment Accessibility Best Practices

Oregon State University has adopted "Accessibility Best Practices" for the accessible design and construction of our facilities. These accessibility best practices have been incorporated into the Capital Planning and Development Construction Standards. Some accessibility standards are found throughout the document, but most specifically in two sections; Section 01 10 02: Accessibility Best Practices for OSU (PDF), and Section 12 56 33: Accessible Classroom Furniture (PDF). The accessibility best practices build off of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design to provide more specific directions for designers and contractors, and to help OSU achieve our goal of becoming the most accessible university possible.
