Projects that increase, expand, or extend a facility’s gross floor area or height of a facility are considered additions (as defined in §106.5) and must comply with the requirements of the standards applicable to |
|
|
new construction. |
|
|
Original construction when it was built. |
| 2. |
How and to what extent the standards apply is determined by the scope of a project and the elements and spaces altered. Only those elements or spaces altered are required to comply, but alterations made to areas containing a primary function (a major activity for which a facility is intended) also require an accessible path of travel. |
|
|
Also require an accessible path of travel. |
|
|
Does not require an accessible path of travel. |
| 3. |
In a restroom project involving alterations to the toilet, grab bars, faucet controls, and mirror, the standards apply to these elements but not to those that remain unaltered. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 4. |
Alterations that reduce accessibility below the level that would be required in new construction are prohibited. Reductions in access are allowed only where, and to the extent that, the minimum level required in new construction is exceeded. For example, if an alteration will reduce the number of parking spaces on a site, accessible parking spaces can be proportionately reduced as long as the minimum required in new construction (based on the parking facility’s new total) is met. |

False |
| 5. |
Compliance in an alteration is not required where it is "____________________." The term is defined as "something that has little likelihood of being accomplished because existing structural conditions would require removing or altering a load-bearing member that is an essential part of the structural frame; or because other existing physical or site constraints prohibit modification or addition of elements, spaces, or features that are in full and strict compliance with the minimum requirements." |

Technically infeasible |

|
Technically impossible |
| 6. |
When alterations are made to a primary function area, an accessible path of travel to the area must be provided. The accessible path of travel must extend from the altered primary function area to site arrival points, __________ public sidewalks and parking and passenger loading zones provided on the site. The path of travel also includes access to restrooms, telephones, and drinking fountains, where provided to serve the primary function area. In leased facilities, alterations made by a tenant to primary function areas that only the tenant occupies do not trigger a path of travel obligation upon the landlord with respect to areas of the facility under the landlord’s authority if those areas are not otherwise being altered. |

Does not include |
| 7. |
The accessible path of travel is required to the extent that it is not "disproportionate" to the total cost. Regulations implementing the standards define "disproportionate" as exceeding ____ of the total cost of alterations to the primary function area. |
|
|
20% |
|
|
30% |
|
|
40% |
| 8. |
Compliance is required up to the point the 20% cost cap is reached, even where it does not result in a fully accessible path of travel. Where costs exceed this cap, compliance should be prioritized in this order:
- an accessible entrance
- an accessible route to the primary function area
- restroom access
- an accessible telephone
- an accessible drinking fountain
- access to other elements such as parking and storage
|
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 9. |
The accessible path of travel ________ from the altered primary function area to site arrival points (public sidewalks, parking, passenger loading zones, public transit stops located on the site). |
|
|
Extends |
|
|
Does not extend |
| 10. |
If _________ feasible to provide physical access to an historic property in a manner that will not threaten or destroy the historic significance of the building or facility, alternative methods of access are permitted by DOJ’s ADA Standards (28 CFR 35.151(b)(3)(ii) and 28 CFR 36.405(b)). |
