Building blocks and elements are the components that make up a building or site, and if these are not accessible, the building or site is not accessible. This course will cover the basic building blocks and elements used to create accessible buildings and sites for everyone. These small, and sometimes overlooked, elements can make or break a project. These elements include, but are not limited to: turning space, clearances, protruding objects, and operable parts. Think of these as the foundation on which you will build your accessible project. When we pay attention to the "small" things, the "big" ones fall into place.
