ICC A117.1-2026 Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities is designed to ensure that people with physical disabilities can independently approach, enter and use a site, facility, building or element. Its technical criteria address a wide range of disabilities, including limited mobility, reliance on walking aids, blindness or visual impairment, deafness or hearing impairment, incoordination, limitations in reach or manipulation, reduced stamina, sensory processing challenges, and variations in body size. Through these requirements, the Standard provides a consistent framework for creating environments that are accessible, usable, and inclusive.
This updated edition continues the long-standing alignment of the Standard with ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and Fair Housing Design Guidelines while integrating provisions that reflect evolving technologies, community needs, and modern building practices. The result is a more comprehensive resource supporting effective, equitable accessibility in contemporary built environments.
