Accessibility and Historic Buildings in Vermont Building Codes

Some of the most common questions builders and designers have are about new accessibility requirements, modifying historic buildings, and in particular modifying historic buildings for greater accessibility.
This seminar seeks to clarify Vermont's building codes by bringing together three experts: from ADA-New England, the preservation community, and the Division of Fire Safety. Presentations and discussions will focus on case studies suggested by participants.
All participants in the workshop will receive complimentary membership in BSA-VT.
This course earns 6 AIA-HSW CEUs.
Weather Date: Thurs., Jan. 16 at Dept. of Fire Safety, 1311 US 302, Barre, VT
