Americans with Disabilities Act. The AIA
“played a significant role in developing the ADA legislation,
initiating and shaping a number of provisions that should make the
law more workable for architects, employers, and building owners.
Those provisions include the treatment of historic properties,
alterations to existing buildings, and the alignment of existing
state and local buildings codes with the act,” writes the
editor of Architecture magazine in 1990. The AIA
Memo reported, “The ADA will have a profound impact on
the design and construction of new public and commercial buildings,
as well as the alteration of existing structures. The act is
designed to end discrimination of people with disabilities in
employment and at workplaces.
