The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) is dedicated to ensuring accessibility to programs, services
and activities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title II. The Americans with
Disabilities Act Associated Guidelines (ADAAG) and the PSU Access Enhancements manual are
followed to provide access to programs, services and activities.
The PSU Access Enhancements were developed to meet the needs of disabled students, faculty and staff
and comply with ADAAG. The PSU Access Enhancements are a compilation of experiences by
challenged students, community groups and legal advice to the University Access Committee (UAC).
For this reason, the PSU Access Enhancements set a standard beyond the minimum requirements of the
ADAAG.
This manual is periodically updated to reflect the Universitys community needs. Check the web site
http://www.opp.psu.edu/construction/standards/index.cfm design standards or contact the PSU project manager.

GENERAL
Curb Cuts or Curb Ramps mean the same
Offset the curb cuts from the major pedestrian flow. This curb placement allows the sight impaired
to detect a curb drop off with a cane or Seeing Eye dog, so people will not wander into intersections.
All curb ramp surfaces shall have a tactile warning system consisting of truncated domes, the full
width and length of the curb ramp surface, which shall contrast visually with adjoining surfaces.
Maintain curb ramp slope of 1:12 (8.33%) slope; curb wings slope of 1:10 (10%). If there is not
enough room at the top of the curb ramp for a wheelchair to make a turn (48 inches min.) then the
side flares shall have a slope of 1:12 (8.33%).
Parking lots (New Construction)
ADA parking spaces shall have an accessible pathway exiting the front of the lay down space, so as
not to discharge people into vehicular traffic.
Illustration of typical ADA parking sign (60 to top of sign on an approved metal pole). See PSU
Signage manual.
Interior Signage
Permanent interior signage to be installed with top edge of sign at 61 above finished floor (A.F.F.)
and 3 from the door trim on the latch side. See PSU Signage Manual.
Restrooms (building common areas)
Double roll toilet tissue dispenser in the accessible stall shall be installed with bottom edge 12
above grab bar.
Install automatic flush controls on the water closet and urinals.
Install self-closing valves on accessible rest room sinks.
Accessible stalls shall have self-closing doors and a door latch that is ADA approved.
Install shelf in accessible stall where possible. Shelf installation at maximum 48 A.F.F. if
applicable (in stall arrangement).
Mounting heights of all accessible controls and operating mechanisms shall be a maximum 48
A.F.F. with sufficient clear floor space.
Install power assist door openers where there is no minimum 18 side clearance at restroom door.
Counters
All counters where goods, services or information is distributed shall have a section with a
maximum counter height of 28-34 A.F.F., minimum 36 width and minimum 24 depth, with a
vertical clearance of 27 for knee space.
Automatic Door Openers (ADO)
The accessible main entrance on each grade level shall have automatic door openers. Install the push
button door opener 32 on center A.F.F. These push buttons should be installed in line with the door
being opened.
A standard sign available at the University Park Campus OPP sign shop shall identify automatic
doors. Standard adhesive backed sign shall be installed on the power assist door surface at 53 on
iii
center A.F.F., 5 from door hinge side. (Note: this sticker placement might be door specific and
should be verified by OPP)
ADO Push Button Heights/Proximity Card Readers and Bollard Locations
Push buttons for automatic doors should be 5-0 from the door frame to allow sufficient clear floor
space to open the door. The push button operator shall be 32 O.C. A.F.F. If a proximity card reader
is needed, it shall be 27 O.C. A.F.F. If the site has a bollard with both a push button and a
proximity card reader, the height is 34 O.C. for push buttons instead of the standard 32 O.C.
Clearance at Latched Doors
Clearance on the pull side of an interior door with a latch only, shall be 12 minimum. The clear
approach space in front of the interior door shall be 48 x 48 minimum.
Traffic Pole Push Buttons
Pedestrian signal buttons shall have a 2 diameter and be mounted 32 O.C. above the finished
surface. There shall be a 60 diameter, firm, stable, clear surface next to the pedestrian button
location.
Vending & Dispenser Operable parts
When new vending and dispenser equipment is installed the highest operable part, shall be 48
maximum and 15 minimum above the finished surface, either for a front or side approach.
Emergency Shower & Eye Wash Stations
Where eye wash stations are located, an accessible station is needed. If only one station is provided,
it shall be accessible along an accessible route and located in close proximity to the other eye wash
stations.
Emergency Phone Stations (Code Blue)
Where emergency phone stations are provided, they shall be approachable and usable by physically
challenged people.
The following Appendix illustrates the above-developed guidelines. These are general guidelines and
site conditions may vary. Contact the PSU project manager with design layout questions. For your
convenience the PSU Access Enhancements are on the web at
http://www.opp.psu.edu/construction/standards/index.cfm design standards.

Y - (yes) you are moderately confident that you can attain the credit.
? - (maybe) it will be challenging for this project and you are uncertain of your ability to attain it but you will try.
N - (no) while technically possible, you currently don't expect to try to achieve this credit in this project due to
cost or other tradeoffs with project goals.
NA - (not applicable) it is inherently physically unattainable for this particular project regardless of effort due to
physical conditions or project scope.

Y - (yes) you are moderately confident that you can attain the credit.
? - (maybe) it will be challenging for this project and you are uncertain of your ability to attain it but you will try.
N - (no) while technically possible, you currently don't expect to try to achieve this credit in this project due to
cost or other tradeoffs with project goals.
NA - (not applicable) it is inherently physically unattainable for this particular project regardless of effort due to
physical conditions or project scope.
Examples would include: Credits SS 3.1 & 3.2 (Brownfield redevelopment) for a project not on a brownfield
site, MR Credits 1.1 - 1.3 (Building reuse) if no portions of an existing building are part of the project, EQ Credit
8.1, 4th 7 5th points (Daylight & Views: inpatient ) if there are no facilities for
inpatients, and SS Credit 7.1 & 2 (Heat island effect) if the scope of the project is only interior renovation
