Abstract:

This document from the San Francisco Arts Commission is intended to serve two purposes. The first is as documentation of the San Francisco Arts Commission's (SFAC) policies and guidelines around implementation of requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title II as it applies to the Public Art and Civic Art Collection Programs. The second is to provide assistance to both artists and staff in implementing these requirements by providing a manual that provides the code requirements and describes the most commonly encountered design issues by these programs. Also included are additional design safety issues not related to ADA, but nonetheless are critical design criteria for many artworks in the public realm. (page 3)
