Hey Tenant, is your retail space ADA compliant?

August 3, 2016 By //  by Chris Leave a Comment

The tenant space is an ever-evolving challenge for any national brand retailer.

May 23, 2014 By //  by Chris 1 Comment

Article written by Jonathan Hansen, Draftsman at ADACC an ICC Certified Accessibility Inspector/Plans Examiner.   If a summer blockbuster reverberates throughout a movieplex and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Conversely, suppose that it doesn’t make a sound at all. A few years back, in 2011, The Artist …
