Make Spaces Accessible for All: Powering Accessible and Inclusive Spaces

Creating accessible spaces for everyone is increasingly important in today's diverse environments. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the 2010 Standards for Public Accommodations, along with the Title III Requirements for Commercial Facilities, establish crucial regulations that ensure compliance with accessibility standards in commercial buildings. These guidelines not only promote inclusivity but also hold building owners accountable for designing accessible spaces that cater to the needs of all individuals, including those with disabilities. 

Designing inclusive spaces, particularly in open environments, presents unique challenges that require innovative and adaptable solutions. Implementing inclusive design principles has also become essential for fostering accessibility. This includes ensuring ample space to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices, providing height-adjustable desks, and integrating essential features like clear signage and grab bars to support safe navigation.  

Another overlooked and unique challenge is safely providing power access to the center of a room - without forming any obstructions on the floor or creating tripping hazards. To address this need, installing revolutionary floor-based raceway can power up any space while maintaining compliance
