Outdoor ADA-Accessible Restaurant Furniture

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a civil rights law that requires buildings and facilities that provide goods and services to the public to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990 and went into effect in 1992. Buildings and alterations constructed after 1992 must comply with the requirements of the ADA.

Buildings and facilities constructed prior to 1992 are required to make changes to facilitate accessibility that are “readily achievable,” defined as “easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.”

Restaurants and other eateries are subject to applicable laws and are searching for furniture that is ADA compliant. California is leading the way in compliance, and other states are sure to follow.

California Building Code
In addition to the ADA, California has its own requirements for accessibility compliance, described in the California Building Code. Current codes are effective as of January 1, 2011.

California is one of the most ADA compliant states in the nation. Under California law, any violation of the ADA is considered a civil rights violation subject to a minimum statutory penalty of $4,000 plus attorney’s fees.

Ashdown Architecture is a full service architectural firm with significant expertise addressing access compliance issues in buildings and facilities throughout California. They are thoroughly familiar with the federal and state requirements for access compliance and have been certified by the California Division State Architect as a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).

Break Room Furniture for Your Workplace

Is it time to upgrade the tables and chairs in your break room?

When was the last time you looked at the furniture in your employee break room or lunch room? Can’t remember? Then it's time to check it out.

A comfortable, inviting area will get more use by employees, making for more people staying in-house for lunch and breaks, thereby reducing late returns to work. Some updated, attractive furniture styles and colors can do wonders to brighten outlooks as well.

Getting a new look doesn’t have to break the bank. A little thought and imagination can go a long way toward an excellent investment.

Here are a few things to consider:
What do the table tops look like? If they are worn or dated, changing them will improve the décor of the whole room. Depending on what type they are and how they are mounted to their base, you may only need to replace the tops and reuse the bases.

Are all your tables the same size? Varying table sizes can maximize use of the room’s space and make it look more like a nice restaurant.

Size 36” x 36” tops can comfortably seat 4 people but some smaller 24" x 30" tables that can accommodate 2 people may increase efficiency.

Metal-framed chairs with replaceable vinyl seats provide comfortable, inexpensive accomodations. With replaceable seats, you can change them out to a different color down the road and liven things up again without a major investment.

Don’t forget some outdoor seating if your building allows, because people love to get outside when weather permits. Outdoor dining provides a refreshing escape from stuffy offices and cubicles. Stacking chairs and tables that hold umbrellas add convenience and atmosphere.

How people spend their non-working hours greatly impacts how they approach the time they spend working. Maintaining an attractive, inviting break area shows you value them as people as well as workers.
