What does the ADA require in new construction?
The ADA requires that all new construction of places of public accommodation, as well as of commercial facilities such as office buildings, be accessible to all persons. Elevators are generally not required in facilities under three stories or with fewer than 3,000 square feet per floor, unless the building is a shopping center or mall; the professional office of a health care provider; a terminal, depot or other public transit station; or an airport passenger terminal.
