ADA For Lodging: Best Practices and Standards

Facilities must comply with all 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design for new construction and remodeling projects. Make all efforts to comply to these standards in existing buildings.

In lounges, bars, and restaurants, low tables are required (at least 5% of the total number of tables). Pedestal tables rarely comply.

A lower counter for check-in is required. It is helpful to remind staff to keep that area free of equipment and clutter.

902 Dining Surfaces and Work Surfaces. 902.2 Clear Floor or Ground Space.

A clear floor space complying with 305 positioned for a forward approach shall be provided. Knee and toe clearance complying with 306 shall be providing. (17” min. depth.)

902 Dining Surfaces and Work Surfaces. 902.3 Height.

The tops of dining surfaces and work surfaces shall be 28 inches minimum and 34 inches maximum above the finish floor or ground.
