UFAS defines environments which are safe, accessible and usable by people of all ages and abilities. Accessible architecture acknowledges that physical abilities change from childhood to old age, and that the experience of functional limitations is not exceptional but universal. In an accessible environment, the inevitable changes in people's bodies will not limit their ability to reside in their own homes, to work, travel, shop and participate fully in community life. This survey covers UFAS requirements for new construction. It can also be used to survey existing buildings to identify those features or elements in need of modifications. This workbook can be used in conjunction with the UFAS Retrofit Manual which will be available from the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (ATBCB) in 1991. The illustrated Retrofit Manual will highlight accessibility options for alterations and additions in a wide range of older and historic buildings. No special training is necessary to use this survey. The survey is for use by design professionals or concerned citizens. In recent years, citizens have frequently monitored the accessibility of public facilities. This involvement has become an important force in the national movement towards integration of people with disabilities. We hope that this manual will be helpful to all interested parties. Where does UFAS apply? UFAS applies to any facility covered by the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) requires that building and facilities which are designed, constructed, altered or lease by or on behalf of the federal government be accessible. The ABA also requires that most buildings and facilities constructed or altered with federal grants or loans be accessible. Section 504 is often referred to as the "civil rights act for people with disabilities." This law requires that all programs and services which receive federal funding be accessible to handicapped persons. Architectural modifications may be necessary to meet this requirement. Section 504 also requires that buildings and facilities which are constructed by recipients of federal funds be accessible. UFAS and Employee Areas: Unlike many state codes, UFAS requires employee areas to be accessible. Exemptions are limited to elevator pits, elevator penthouses, mechanical rooms, piping or equipment catwalks, lookout galleries, electrical and telephone closets, and general utility. How the Workbook is Organized: This workbook presents all of the technical requirements of UFAS in the logical progression of traveling to and through a building. The 21 survey forms represent elements on the site and in the building. Many of UFAS's general requirements repeat on different forms because they apply to more than one element. The survey materials reflect the three levels of UFAS requirements: Occupancy Classifications, Minimum Requirements, and Technical Requirements. Occupancy Classifications tell you the general requirements for your facility type. Minimum Requirements tell you what to survey, such as an accessible route or a bathroom. And the Technical Requirements give you specific features those elements must have. The survey process moves through a parallel structure: Step 1: Occupancy Classifications Chart Step 2: Minimum Requirements Summary Sheets Step 3: Survey Forms (Technical Requirements) Form 1: Parking Form 2: Passenger Loading Zones Form 3: Pathways Form 4: Telephones and Drinking Fountains Form 5: Ramps Form 6: Stairs Form 7: Lifts Form 8: Entrance Form 9: Doors and Gates Form 10: Building Lobby, Corridor Form 11: Elevator Form 12: Rooms and Spaces Form 13: Assembly Rooms Form 14: Bathrooms: Toilets, Sinks and Mirrors Form 15: Bathrooms: Bathtubs and Showers Special Facilities: Form 16: Restaurants and Cafeterias Form 17: Health Care Form 18: Mercantile Form 19: Libraries Form 20: Postal Facilities Form 21: Dwelling Units Appendices: Definitions List of Consumer Information for Adaptable Dwelling Units Measurement Guides Survey Instructions: Approach to Surveying - The survey can be used in part or in full, depending on your level of concern and time commitment. If you are surveying a facility which you are familiar with, you may already know what the general access problems are and will want to use this survey to check specific details. If you are unfamiliar with the facility, it is helpful to make an initial tour through the building to orient yourself. Although the survey is structured for use on site, it can also be used by architects and facility managers to review architectural plans. Preparing to survey: Make contact with the building management to advise them that you will be surveying and that you will be glad to share your information with them. Ask if they can provide you with a building plan. A plan can be very helpful, particularly if you are surveying a large facility. You can assign numbers to areas or elements on the plan and use the same numbers to correlate the Survey Forms. Bring a copy of UFAS with you when you survey. Since the survey's questions are fairly brief, an understanding of the full code requirements in UFAS is necessary. Also, not every illustration in UFAS has been included in the survey. Illustrations are provided only for those survey questions which cannot be clearly stated with words. Step 1: Determine Occupancy Classifications - After you have affirmed that UFAS has jurisdiction over the facility, look at the Occupancy Classifications Chart. Find the facility type in the left-hand column of the Chart. (If you cannot determine your facility's type, see the detailed list in UFAS 4.1.4.) The areas of the facility which must be accessible are checked off or listed to the right. Fill in the Building Identification Form and include this information. Step 2: Determine Minimum Requirements - Minimum Requirements tell you which elements are required to be accessible, such as a particular entrance or pathway. Use the Minimum Requirements Summary Sheets to identify the specific elements of your facility which must be accessible. With the Minimum Requirement Summary Sheets in hand, take a quick tour of the facility or look at the building plans. As you go through the facility, complete each Summary Sheet in the order they are presented. The Summary Sheets will ask you to inventory the elements of your facility which must be accessible. The principal of the "accessible route" is key to the Minimum Requirements Summary Sheets. Simply put, an "accessible route" is a path of travel which a person in a wheelchair, an elderly person, or someone with another mobility limitation would find safe and easy to use. (See definition in the Appendix.) The Minimum Requirements Summary Sheets define where these accessible routes must be. Step 3: Copy and Assemble the Survey - Return to your workplace with the completed Summary Sheets. They will tell you how many copies to make of each Survey Form. Some Forms will be needed more than once, others will not be needed at all. Copy the necessary Survey Forms and attach them to the Summary Sheet which called for them. When you're finished, you'll have a series of Survey Forms which progress logically through the facility and are divided by the seven Summary Sheets. If you are working with a team, you can give team members a complete section covered by a Summary Sheet. Cover the entire package with the Building Identification Sheet. Step 4: Survey - Bring a copy of UFAS, a clipboard, a pencil or a pen, a flexible measuring tape, and a stick of chalk for marking distances on surfaces. You may also want a line level or other device to measure ramp slopes, and a fish scale for determining door pressure. Each Survey Form has a title block which allows you to pinpoint the element you are inspecting. Be sure to fill in the location of the element and the facility name on each Survey Form. Each survey question has a UFAS section number. If you do not understand the question, look up the section in the UFAS document. Illustrations referenced in the survey forms are attached to the back of the form. If you have a question about a term, refer to the Definitions section in the Appendix. If you need a visual picture of where measurements are taken, refer to the Measurement Guides also in the Appendix. Check off whether the element complies or not. If you cannot determine whether or not it complies, put a question mark in the box. Do not leave blank boxes because they will confuse someone who later reviews the forms. If the element does not exist, check "N/A" (Not Applicable). Minimum Requirements Summary Sheets: Parking and Passenger Loading Zones Site Accessible route Entrance Building Accessible Route Rooms and Assembly Spaces Bathrooms Special Facilities Parking and Passenger Loading Zones (Attach needed forms to this summary sheet) Parking - General Parking: Each parking lot provided for employees or visitors is required to have accessible parking spaces. (4.1.1(5)(a)) Parking at Accessible Housing: Where parking is provided for all residents, one accessible parking space shall be required for each accessible dwelling unit. Where parking is provided for only a portion of the residents, an accessible parking space shall be provided upon request from the occupant of an accessible dwelling unit. Where parking is provided for visitors, 2% but not less than 1 shall be accessible.(4.1.1(5)(d)). Parking at Health Care Facilities: Employee and visitor parking at general health care facilities shall meet (4.1.1(5)(a). At outpatient facilities, 10% of the total number of parking spaces provided shall be accessible. At spinal cord injury facilities, employee and visitor parking 20% of the total number of spaces provided shall be accessible. List the parking lots to be surveyed: (Survey each of these lots with a copy of Survey Form 1: Parking) Passenger Loading Zones: Where passenger loading zones are provided, at least one must be accessible. (4.1.1(5)(b)). You can usually identify the accessible passenger loading zone by a sign bearing the international symbol of accessibility. If no sign is present survey existing passenger loading zones for an accessible one. Begin with the passenger loading zone closest to the accessible entrance. List the passenger loading zones to be surveyed: (Survey each passenger loading zone with a copy of Survey Form 2: Passenger Loading Zone) Site Accessible Route - UFAS 4.4.4(1) requires the following elements on the site to be connected by an accessible route. If accessible route connections do not exist between these elements, that in itself is a violation. If they do exist then the completed survey will reveal their satisfactory and unsatisfactory features. From: To: public transportation stops Accessible entrance accessible parking spaces " " passenger loading zones " " public streets and sidewalks " " building, facility or other bldg\facility element on the site. on site. If you are using a plan drawing, you may want to mark these routes with a colored pencil. List the accessible routes to be surveyed: From: To: (You'll need at least one copy of the Survey 3: Pathways for each of these routes. Use forms 4: Amenities, 5: Ramps, 6: Stairs, and 7: Lifts as you encounter these elements) Number of Copies: Form 3: Pathways Form 4: Phones/Drinking Fountains Form 5: Ramps Form 6: Stairs Form 7: Lifts Entrance - UFAS 4.1.2(8) requires at least one principal entrance at each on-grade floor level to be accessible. In addition, if an entrance normally serves one or more of the functions listed below, that entrance must also be accessible: transportation stop passenger loading zone accessible parking facilities taxi stand public streets and sidewalks accessible interior vertical access List the entrances to the facility which must be accessible: (You'll need at least one copy of Form 8: Entrances, and probably one copy of Form 9: Doors and Gates. If you encounter stairs, a lift, or a ramp, survey that element with its specific form.) Number of Copies: Form 8: Entrances Form 9: Doors/Gates Form 5: Ramps Form 6: Stairs Form 7: Lifts Building Accessible Route: UFAS 4.1.2(1) requires at least one accessible route complying with 4.3 to connect accessible building or facility entrances with all accessible spaces within the building or facility. Forms 5 to 11 cover the elements of an accessible route. The number of corridors which you'll need to survey depends upon your facility. If you are surveying a multi-story building, but each floor is exactly the same, you'll need to survey only one floor's corridors. Another situation might be a building with identical corridors on a single-floor. Surveying one of those corridors may be sufficient. You'll need to determine a representative sampling of your facility's corridors. A copy of the building's plans will simplify this task. If the plans are unavailable, walk through the building and take an inventory of the corridors. In a multi-story building, an accessible elevator must provide access to each level unless a ramp complying with 4.8 is provided. Stairs must comply with 4.9 if they connect levels which are not connected by an elevator. List the corridors and lobbies to be surveyed: (Use one copy of form 12: Building Lobby and Corridor for each lobby or corridor. You'll also need copies of form 4: Telephones and Drinking Fountains to survey those elements as you encounter them.) List the ramps to be surveyed: (Use one copy of Form 5: Ramps for each ramp.) List the stairs to be surveyed: (Use one copy of Form 6 Stairs for each staircase.) List the elevators to be surveyed: (Use one copy of Form 11: Elevator for each elevator.) Rooms and Assembly Spaces: All rooms and assembly room which are in areas covered by your facility's occupancy classification needed to be accessible. An assembly room is defined as a room or space accommodating fifty or more individuals for religious, recreational, educational, political, social or amusement purposes, or for the consumption of food and drink, including all connected rooms or spaces with a common means of egress and ingress. Such areas as conference rooms used by fewer than 50 persons would have to be accessible in accordance with room requirements and other parts of this standard, but would not have to meet all of the requirements for an assembly occupancy. List the rooms to be surveyed: (Use one copy of form 18 for each room.) List the assembly spaces to be surveyed: (Use one copy of Survey Form 19 for each assembly space.) Bathrooms: UFAS 4.1.2(1) requires each public and common use toilet room or bathing facility to be accessible. Employee toilets are considered to be "common use". List the bathrooms to be surveyed: (Survey the bathrooms with Form 14: Toilets, sinks and Mirrors and Form 15: Bathtubs and Showers.) Special Facilities: In addition to the requirements of 4.1 to 4.33, the special facilities listed below have additional requirements. If you are surveying one of these special facilities, begin with that facility's special form. Other forms, such as "Parking", may also apply. If you are surveying a dwelling unit, go directly to Form 21: Dwelling Units. Where other forms are needed, they will be referenced in Form 21.
