COMMERCIAL ACCESSIBILITY

ANOVA GROUP has the know-how and experience to create accessible spaces in a commercial setting. Complying with ADA (American Disability Association) and the OBC (Ontario Building Code) accessibility standards makes commercial properties welcoming to people with disabilities, while also providing business and ethical benefits. Essential accessibility features like automated doors, tactile signage, and maintenance, help foster inclusion.

While ADA compliance specifically relates to the minimum legal requirements within North America, accessibility can extend beyond legal obligations and encompass creating spaces and experiences that cater to diverse needs, regardless of legal obligations. 

Our team in the accessibility and Aging in Place department works closely with Occupational Therapists and other organizations such as retirement home management teams, and assists in implementing the best solution to the organization.
