A building code is a set of rules that specify the minimum acceptable level of safety for buildings. The main purpose of building codes are to protect public health, safety and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures.
A building built to the building code is the least safe building you can legally build.

◦ Accessible facilities must be provided at the completion of construction.
◦ Adaptable facilities do not meet the requirements for accessibility unless demonstrated to the University Building Official to be readily implemented on demand.
◦ All stairways shall be accessible to the disabled.

Facilities shall be designed so that accessibility does not stand out or draw attention to it when other architectural alternatives are available.◦ Example, restroom lavatories shall be of uniform
design with all lavatories meeting accessibility standards rather than just one unit meeting the standards.
◦ This would not apply to toilet stalls, urinals or water closets.

ADAAG has some minimum and maximum dimensions for some of the elements. If a minimum and maximum is given, there is no tolerance for the element being outside of that range. (ADAAG Advisory 104.1.1)
If a minimum or maximum is given there is some tolerance, but the tolerance is not defined. ◦ Element should be dimensioned to ensure the
minimum or maximum is not exceeded. Don’t show the limit.
