"Stepping Thru Accessible Elements in Hospitality"

DESCRIPTION
Hotels, motels, inns, and restaurants are one of the more involved building types. Not only do guest rooms have a myriad of parameters but there are a number of other diverse elements, each with their own set of requirements found within one facility. It is not atypical to find retail and restaurants, pools and fitness rooms, business and banquet facilities not to mention valet service and hotel shuttles for even more complexity. We will review the varying requirements both from a scoping perspective and a technical viewpoint.

SUBJECTS COVERED
An overview of Accessible elements found in hotels, motels, inns, and restaurants along with their scoping and technical requirements

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand different components for transient loading entries from drop-off to check-in
• Review both technical and scoping parameters for guest rooms for mobility, communication, and others
• Learn about the new requirements regarding pools, spas, and fitness centers
• Overview retail, restaurant, and other elements often-times found in transient lodging
