accessibility & universal design

 

we deliver specialty ADA design consultancy services for assembly venues such as stadiums, ballparks, arenas, performing arts centers, concert halls, amphitheaters, churches, synagogues, academic buildings, and more…

At BallParchitecture, the facilities we design don’t just meet The Department of Justice regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. But we strive in all our projects to exceed the minimum to create venues where accommodations are seamlessly woven into the general flow and game day experience of all spectators. Be it creating proper sightline development, providing dispersed ADA and companion seating throughout the bowl, barrier free access to accommodations, we exceed minimum requirements – both scoping and technical -- for newly designed and constructed or renovated assembly design facilities for public accommodations to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities side by side with those without barrier struggles.

ADA CONSULTING SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Assess and Study Existing Facility Conditions for Compliance with Accessibility Standards

  • Review Design and Document for Accessibility Standards Compliance

  • Assist the Prime Architectural Design Team with the Americans with Disabilities Act/Accessibility Compliance

  • Assist with Communications between Disability Advocate Organizations and the Design Team, University/Professional Organization, and/or Facility Operators

our universal design goal:

  • We strive to achieve Universal Design by planning for and designing assembly environments which are accessible to all people, regardless of their abilities or other factors, with the goal of barrier free facilities.

ADA advocacy:
