DesignArts Seminars presents "New ADA Regulations: What are the Impacts and How to Comply"
This 8-hour seminar provides in-depth coverage of the revised ADA-ABA guidelines in comparison with the currently-enforceable ADAAG standards. Also addressed are the implications of newly-revised state standards.
The course helps designers and architects understand which standards to use, and when. We conduct a side-by-side comparison of the current ADA Accessibility Guidelines and the New ADA Accessibility Guidelines that are being released into the final phase of the legislative process. This study will help participants learn how to integrate the new standards into designs and what to do when state requirements differ from the new federal requirements. Are you ready for the most major change in access standards in 18 years? You will be after this class!
Classes will be at The Houston Design Center – 7026 Old Katy Road, Houston, Texas 77024 8 am until 5 pm and include breaks for morning, lunch and afternoon.

Designing with Natural Stone
For Architects, Interior Designers and Landscape Architects Despite the natural durability found in stone, there are a number of applications -- both exterior and interior -- where issues can arise due to improper use, specification, installation, care, and/or maintenance. This seminar provides the knowledge base architects and designers need to successfully work with natural stone in both residential and commercial projects.
Case studies provide a hands-on, problem-solving approach to designing with natural stone. We review pertinent accessibility issues and examine the sustainability of natural stone as it as relates to LEED and the new International Green Building Code. Finally, we look at recent changes in the stone industry and how they impact design options.
Classes will be at The Houston Design Center – 7026 Old Katy Road, Houston, Texas 77024 8 am until 5 pm and include breaks for morning, lunch and afternoon.
