The Coordinating Committee for the Removal of Architectural Barriers (CCRAB) serves the University of California, Berkeley as a subcommittee of the Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Disability & Accessibility Planning. CCRAB is administered on behalf of the ADA/504 Coordinator and the Vice Chancellor for Administration. The Committee meets as regularly as required (at least monthly) to ensure the physical accessibility of the university’s programs, services, and activities by reviewing plans for capital projects. CCRAB’s charge is to:
-
Review capital projects to ensure their accessibility as defined under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, Title 24 of the California Building Code, as well as other applicable law and university policies,
-
Monitor the effective execution of the university ADA Transition Plan,
-
Initiate capital projects, studies, and research projects that improve the physical accessibility of UC Berkeley facilities, and
-
Allocate Committee funds to improve the accessibility of properties under the university’s stewardship.
