Volume Two of the highly acclaimed DDA Leisure Directory will be available from February 2005, and is offered to ASC readers at a special discounted rate.

GOOD ACCESS adds great value to leisure and sports buildings and, following recent disability legislation, is now regarded as a basic requirement by many prospective buyers and tenants.


Architects are expected to come up with creative solutions to all types of access problems in order to maximise impact with the minimum cost and disruption. The DDA Leisure Directory 2005 provides a route map through this process, helping designer and client to fully understand the needs of disabled customers so that they can make the best decisions.


Structured in easy-to-read sections, the 160-page publication illustrates how you can organise your basic priorities in relation to the physical environment, from approaching and entering a building to using its facilities and services. It documents the key considerations in terms of risk assessment and provides practical templates for decision making and implementation.

The DDA Leisure Directory incorporates guidance from a range of industry sources, including British Standards (BS8300), CIRIA, RICS and Building Regulations, as well as the Disability Rights Commission. Key sources are fully referenced along with websites and contact details. Architects and building owners will also be able to benefit from a series of leisure case studies that show the importance of design creativity in overcoming physical barriers and meeting the needs of the Disability Discrimination Act.


The DDA Leisure Directory Volume Two (rrp £45-00) is available to ASC readers at a 10% DISCOUNT – that’s £40.50 + £3 p&p. Volume One (published in 2004) and Volume Two are available at the combined price of £55-00 + £5 p&p.
