Ensuring Accessibility in Building Design: CodeNext Inc.’s Commitment

As accessibility demands grow, especially with the Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act (AODA) Path to 2025, to make Ontario Accessible, CodeNext Inc. aids designers, owners, and Authorities in meeting barrier-free design requirements and standards. With advancements in understanding and a growing emphasis on inclusivity, the need for accessible buildings has never been greater. These spaces not only accommodate individuals with disabilities but also foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity within our communities. The idea is to use the social model when it comes to designing in the built environment and reflect on what social and physical barriers prevent persons with disabilities from fully participating in our society. 

At CodeNext Inc., we understand the importance of barrier-free design and the positive impact it has on people's lives. From ensuring wheelchair ramps and elevators are in place to providing wider doorways and accessible restrooms to the installation of tactile indicator strips to ensure a person with low vision can maneuver the stairs to the integration of strobes in fire alarm systems so a person with hearing loss can be alert of an emergency. Our team is dedicated to incorporating accessibility features into your building designs for the minimum requirements and beyond. We recognize that accessibility is not just a legal requirement but also a moral imperative, essential for creating spaces where everyone can thrive.

To uphold our commitment to accessibility, we stay informed about the latest developments in accessibility standards, regulations, and guidelines. Through ongoing research and active participation in industry discussions, such as the Accessibility Professional Network and forums, we stay on top of evolving regulations and best practices. By doing so, we can provide invaluable guidance to designers, owners, and authorities, ensuring that buildings meet or exceed accessibility standards.

Our goal at CodeNext Inc. is to promote inclusivity and enhance the accessibility of buildings for the benefit of all members of society. By working together with designers, owners, and architects, we can create environments that are welcoming, functional, and empowering for everyone through the variety of services that we offer.

Let us help you navigate the complexities of barrier-free design and ensure that your projects are truly accessible to all.
