space

in a

qualified historic building

will

be limited to controlled groups with assigned tour guides, changes in level as provided

in this subsection 202.5.4.1(1) may be accommodated by means of a detachable

ramp.

202.5.4.2 Exemptions for Controlled Groups with

Assigned Tour Guides.

Where access to any

space

in a

qualified

historic building

will be limited to controlled groups with assigned tour

guides, requirements of the following Sections are waived for that

space

.

1.

404,

Doors, except minimum widths as noted in 202.5.4.5 below, and threshold heights

in 404.2.5;

2.

225

and 811, Storage;

3.

205

and 309, Controls and Operating Mechanisms, where not intended to be operated

by the general

public

;

4.         705,

Detectable Warnings

; and

5.         216 and 703, Signage.

202.5.4.3 Exemption for Controlled Groups and Door

Attendants.

Where access to any

space

in a

qualified

historic building

will be limited to controlled groups with assigned

tour guides, or where a full-time door attendant or concierge is provided at

the door within visual and audible communication range, there are no special

requirements for door hardware or operation.

202.5.4.4 Door Hardware.

The addition of

adapter lever handles that retain the existing hardware will be considered to

meet the

Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation

as

they do not result in the removal of any historic features from the structure

ided at

the door within visual and audible communication range, there are no special

requirements for door hardware or operation.

202.5.4.4 Door Hardware.

The addition of

adapter lever handles that retain the existing hardware will be considered to

meet the

Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation

as

they do not result in the removal of any historic features from the structure.

202.5.4.5 Door Width.

Minimum clear door

opening width for a single door or the single active leaf of a pair of doors

shall

meet the requirements of 404.2.3. When the

alteration

of an

existing historic door does not meet the

Secretary of the Interior's

Standards for Rehabilitation

, a lesser dimension may be considered to be

accessible if it provides the highest level of access within the limited

dimensions available. Examples of acceptable methods of providing improved

access while maintaining the historic door include the following:

1.

Maintain the door opening area free of any

obstructions so that the clear opening can be measured with the door in a 180

degree position rather than the 90 degree position.

2.

Reverse the swing of the door.

3.         Remove or alter the side door stop(s).

4.         Replace the existing hinges with offset

hinges.

Example: A historically

significant door is only 30 inches (9140 mm) wide. Because the door, associated

transom and surrounding trim are all significant features of the

building

,

altering the opening and replacing the door does not meet the

Secretary of

the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation

. The installation of off-set

hinges and the replacement of the door stops creates a clear opening of 29-1/2

inches (8990 mm), but otherwise retains all of the historic features of the

building

.

In these circumstances, the modified front entry door would be considered to be

accessible.

202.5.4.6 Width of Pairs

of Doors.

For pairs of doors where an individual leaf does not

provide the minimum clear opening, the following options provide improved

access:

1

oor stops creates a clear opening of 29-1/2

inches (8990 mm), but otherwise retains all of the historic features of the

building

.

In these circumstances, the modified front entry door would be considered to be

accessible.

202.5.4.6 Width of Pairs

of Doors.

For pairs of doors where an individual leaf does not

provide the minimum clear opening, the following options provide improved

access:

1.         Activating the second leaf; or

2.         Adding a power operator that activates both

leaves.

202.5.4.7 Entrances.

If it is determined

that no

entrance

used by the

public

can comply with 206.4 without

threatening or destroying the historic character of the

building

or

facility

,

then access at any

entrance

not used by the general

public

, but

open (unlocked) with directional signage at the primary

entrance

may be

used. The accessible

entrance

shall also have a notification system.

Where security is a problem, remote monitoring may be used.

202.5.4.8 Accessible Routes from Entrances. Accessible

routes

from an accessible

entrance

to all

publicly

used

spaces

on at least the level of the accessible

entrance

shall be provided. Access shall be provided to all levels of a

building

facility

in compliance with 207.1 and Chapter 4 whenever practical,

and where such access would not threaten or destroy the historic character of

the

building

or

facility

.

202.5.4.9 Stairs.

Where the

alterations

to a historic stair do not meet the

Secretary of the Interior's

Standards for Rehabilitation

(as determined by the Illinois State

Historic Preservation Office), the requirements of 504 are waived.

Example: The addition of a modern complying handrail on

the wall side of a historic stair may meet the minimum requirement for a

necessary handrail without

alterations

to the historic railing and

balustrade, thus meeting the

Secretary of the Interior's Standards

for Rehabilitation

. In many instances it may also be possible to

install a new code compliant handrail on top of the historic railing and

balustrade

ion of a modern complying handrail on

the wall side of a historic stair may meet the minimum requirement for a

necessary handrail without

alterations

to the historic railing and

balustrade, thus meeting the

Secretary of the Interior's Standards

for Rehabilitation

. In many instances it may also be possible to

install a new code compliant handrail on top of the historic railing and

balustrade.

202.5.4.10 Stair Handrail Extensions.

extension of stair handrails shall not be required in

alterations

where

such extensions would be hazardous or impossible due to plan configuration.

202.5.4.11 Elevator Doors.

then the automatic door protective and reopening devices as required in 407.3.3

may be omitted.

202.5.4.12 Elevator Dimensions.

Where

existing shaft or

structural elements

prohibit strict compliance with

the minimum dimensions of the elevator cars as required in 407.4.1, then the

serves as a means of emergency egress.

202.5.4.14 Elevator Features.

Where

historic elevator features such as call buttons, hall lanterns, and control

panels cannot comply with 407, the addition of new compliant controls that

retain the existing will be considered to meet the

Secretary of the Interior's

Standards for Rehabilitation

as they do not result in the removal of the

historic elevator features.

202.5.4.15 Signage

y egress.

202.5.4.14 Elevator Features.

Where

historic elevator features such as call buttons, hall lanterns, and control

panels cannot comply with 407, the addition of new compliant controls that

retain the existing will be considered to meet the

Secretary of the Interior's

Standards for Rehabilitation

as they do not result in the removal of the

historic elevator features.

202.5.4.15 Signage.

Where historic signage

including exit signs, directional, informational, and permanent room signage,

cannot comply with 216 and 703, the addition of new compliant signage that

retains the existing will be considered to meet the

Secretary of the

Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation

as it does not result in the

removal of the historic signage.

202.5.4.16 Site Arrival

Points.

At least one accessible route from a site arrival point to

an accessible entrance shall be required.
