has certain barrier removal requirements. What are the limits of those requirements for existing facilities?
Barrier removal must be effected when it is readily achievable to do so. Readily achievable means easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense. In a multi-site business, the overall size of the parent corporation is one factor to be considered in whether the accommodation is readily achievable. The ADA also permits consideration of the financial resources of the particular facility or facilities involved, and the administrative or fiscal relationship of the facility or facilities to the parent entity.
