Students are made aware of a local building that does not meet ADA requirements and the owner is being sued. Your students work for an engineering firm. They must, first, research the law. Then they design a new entry way that meets ADA requirements.
This lesson includes:
Student Handout
Graphic Organizer
PowerPoint presentation
Google SketchUp rendering of the building front
