We have a really old building that needs to be renovated. Does it have to meet ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) standards?
It all depends upon how much renovation you are doing. The “standard” is that if the cost of the renovation equals or exceeds the original cost of the building then the entire building needs to come into compliance with the ADA guidelines. However, variances can be made. Your architect can – or should – be of great assistance on these matters.
