Elevators

If the facility has several levels, one way to provide access is through the use of elevators. The elevators should be located on a route that is typically used and accessible. The elevators should have adequate door openings and should be equipped with a safety system that automatically opens the door when it becomes obstructed by an object or a person. All buttons should be at least 3/4 inches in diameter with Braille and raised lettering located to the left of each control or button. All controls or buttons on the elevator control panels are to be mounted no higher than 48 inches from the floor. There must be both visual and audible signals used to identify direction of elevator travel.
