Is your building truly accessible? 🛗

When it comes to elevator accessibility, meeting the minimum requirements is only part of the equation. The best buildings are designed with every passenger in mind — from someone using a wheelchair or walker to a parent with a stroller or a person with low vision.

Planning for accessibility early doesn't just improve the user experience — it can also help avoid costly changes later in the project. In our latest blog, we explore the best practices shaping accessible elevator design across Canada and what project teams should know before construction begins.
