Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Long-Range Plan

The ADA Long-Range Plan was updated in 2009. Working with Paul Steege Associates, the College developed a phased implementation plan based on 4 priority categories.

The ADA Committee selects priority projects to advance each fiscal year.

Recently, the College contracted with Accruent to conduct a Facilities Condition Assessment of all campus facilities. As part of this study, Accruent noted any accessibility deficiencies. The ADA Committee is reviewing the Accruent report and will make updates to the ADA Long-Range Plan if needed, and will then select the next projects to implement.
