In 2018 MUBEC added IBC Chapter 11 Accessibility back into the building code. This seminar focuses on the minimum requirements for new or existing construction of accessible commercial facilities and multifamily housing for compliance with the 2015 International Building Code® (IBC®) and ICC A117.1-2009 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. It addresses the design, plan review and inspection of commercial buildings to ensure that people with physical impairments, visual impairments and hearing impairments can use the facilities.
