Buildings of specific occupancy types present their own unique issues. This guidebook looks at several of those issues for six occupancy types: (1) cultural facilities, (2) public assembly and entertainment facilities, (3) participant sports and recreation facilities, (4) temporary lodging, (5) workplace facilities and (6) human service facilities. Ensuring the usability of these facilities by everyone helps create the universal city.
