The new 2010 Standards for Accessibility, including new supplementary design requirments, replaces the 1991 Stamdards / original "ADAAG” technical standards dated 7/1/94.
The 18 month "grace period" during which either Standard may be used has expired on 3/15/12 (construction start date). The 2010 ADA Standards are now mandatory.
