Federal Courthouse Access Advisory Committee

The U.S. Access Board has created the Courthouse Access Advisory Committee to develop guidance material on providing access to courthouses for people with disabilities. As part of this effort, the committee is soliciting "best practice" examples of accessibility in new and renovated courthouse design. Information is sought on all types of courthouses and spaces within them.

If you have photographic examples or other graphics, which highlight good examples of accessibility in courthouses, we ask that you share them with this committee. Please send graphic examples to David Calvert at lawdpc@swbell.net. Contact Marlene Walli Shade, AIA at 703-698-9064 with any questions.

Public Act 05-31 gives OSFM and OSBI the ability to grant variances or waivers to the requirement for sprinklers in new schools and additions with the APPLICATION FOR REQUEST FOR VARIATION OR EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUBSECTION (A) OF SECTION 29-315 OF THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL STATUTES
