The Daniels Corporation Announces the "Accessibility Designed" Program
Designing inclusive living spaces for people using mobility devices
TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2017 /CNW/ - The Ontario Building Code (OBC) requires every builder to include a certain percentage of barrier-free suites in all new developments. The Daniels Corporation will announce a new Accessibility Designed Program (ADP), which goes well beyond building code requirements. People shopping for a new, accessible condominium can now select from standard suite layouts that are designed specifically with mobility needs in mind. While standard accessible layouts are available at no additional cost, suite layouts can be further tailored and upgraded to meet individual needs. This program, which is currently being launched at the company's newest condominium communities, is a testament to Daniels' commitment to building new homes for the full spectrum of the housing market.
This innovative program is designed with the principles of Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in mind: independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity.
