ADA Compliance

An ADA compliant office pod provides a private haven for everyone, integrating all essential facilities like acoustics, ventilation, and lighting. It expertly caters to those with mobility impairments, ensuring a comfortable, secluded environment for meetings and video conferences. The universally appealing design fits effortlessly into any office space, with wide doors, low thresholds, and user-friendly handles. Regardless of your office style or size, these ADA pods promise easy access and privacy for all.

ADA Accessibility

ADA accessible office pods are equipped with features and modifications that cater to the diverse needs of employees with disabilities, ensuring that they can navigate and utilize the workspace independently and comfortably. This may include features such as wider doorways, ramps or lifts for wheelchair accessibility, adjustable workstations, and braille signage for individuals with visual impairments. ADA accessible products may have some of the features seen in complaint products but wont adhere to all the requirements laid out by the ADA act to become ADA compliant.

Universal Design

Universal design is making waves, ensuring accessible and inclusive spaces for all. Regardless of age, size, or ability, it’s crafting perfect environments where everyone can seamlessly interact, conduct private meetings, and navigate with ease..

ADA Compliance Features

Since its inception in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has paved the way for improved accessibility. This includes creating door requirements that cater to the needs of disabled and non-disabled people, guaranteeing easy access for everyone. By outlining specific guidelines for door width, clearance, and handles, the ADA ensures that no one is left behind.

Wide Clearance Doorway

To allow entrance of people using crutches and wheelchairs, the door width standard on an ADA office pod is a minimum of 32 inches when the door is open to 90 degrees. Most ADA pods available in our range have a 36 inch width doorway, allowing ample space for comfortable entry for wheelchair users or other mobility aids. With wide door clearance and a low threshold, manoeuvrability is a breeze.

Full ADA compliance means the area within the office pod provides adequate interior space for wheelchair manoeuvrability.

The Zonez ADA Pod and the Residence Connect ADA Pod are perfect choices for ADA compliant models for private spaces to meet and work for video conference calls and focused tasks. The majority of the Zonez range (besides the Phone Booths) are ADA compliant with the Zonez Collaboration Suite Pod, Zen Booth Quad Pod providing extra space where larger more spacious accessible meeting pods are needed. Also in this range of larger ADA compliant pods is the Silent Room Pod Large.

The swedish design elements of the Barn Work Booth and the BuildUp Large Meeting Booth give a calm, natural feel to these accessible booths. Along with ADA compliance we have a range of Lactation models that also meet the ADA standard with the Zonez Mothers Pod ensuring the well-being of new mothers as they return to work.

Low Threshold

A lower threshold facilitates movement for people who use wheelchairs or other mobility equipment. Door thresholds that are ADA-compliant need the vertical height at no more than ¼”. For a little flexibility, a transition ramp can be added to allow for a vertical height of up to ¾”. All examples of an ADA Office Pod sim to comply with the standards set out by the American Department of Justice.

Easy To Use Door Handles

For door handles to comply with ADA standards, the handle should be between 34 and 48 inches from the floor surface, not the bottom of the door. The easy-to-use handles on each ADA Office Pod ensures ease of access for everyone. Users do not have to strain, twist or be positioned at awkward angles to open the pod doors, the easy-to-grab handle ensures effortless access. Designed specifically for those with mobility impairments, access to the pods has never been easier.
