Burnham Nationwide, a trusted leader in permit expediting, code consulting, and ADA compliance, is offering a new continuing education opportunity for building and design professionals.
On June 26, 2025 at 12 PM CT, Burnham Nationwide’s Code Group will present a live webinar titled The Blueprint for Accessibility: Toilet and Bathing Rooms. This session will help attendees navigate the intersection of ADA compliance and building code requirements, with practical strategies from leading experts in code consulting. The course is eligible for 1 AIA LU with HSW designation and is open to professionals across architecture, design, and construction.
Toilet and bathing rooms are essential spaces in every building - and also some of the most difficult to design when it comes to accessibility. These areas must meet a variety of rules and standards, but those requirements can sometimes be unclear or even conflict with one another.
Presented by Leah Riley, Managing Senior Code Consultant, The Code Group, this session will help participants understand how to apply key codes like ADA and IBC when working on these critical spaces. It will walk through real project examples, point out common mistakes, and show how to improve both design and compliance.
“Toilet and bathing rooms may seem simple, but they’re often where ADA compliance gets the most complicated,” said Leah Riley. “This webinar gives professionals the tools to identify real-world design issues and apply the right code solutions with confidence.”
Designed for architects, designers, and project managers, this course is meant to give attendees practical tools they can use right away. Whether you’re creating plans, reviewing layouts, or working through code submissions, this webinar will give you the knowledge to work smarter, avoid violations, and create better outcomes for everyone - especially people with disabilities.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
-
Understand core accessibility rules for toilet and bathing rooms
-
Compare ADA and IBC codes to clarify conflicts
-
Apply practical solutions when guidance is unclear or missing
-
Review case studies and real project enforcement issues
-
Take away helpful tools for better design and code compliance
Why Continuing Education Matters in Code Consulting
