AHS Barrier-free Design Library RESOURCES

Books, videos, audio tapes are all available for your use in the AHS Library.Our library contains over 300 publications on barrier-free design. Whether you are building a new home or renovating an existing one, you will find useful ideas and illustrations on barrier-free design solutions.

Included in our collection is a copy of the 1997 Alberta Building Code and Barrier-Free Design Guide. New homes, renovations, or additions should be designed to meet the current requirements of the building code. The Barrier-Free Design Guide provides an illustrated guide to these requirements.

Drop by our office to view the library during office hours: Monday to Thursday from 8:00am to 4:00pm and Friday from 8:00am to 12:00 noon.

If you would like to meet with one of our occupational therapists or architect to help you choose resources and discuss how we can help you customize the design to meet your specific needs, call our office at (403) 282-1872, or email our Occupational Therapists or our technical advisor to set up an appointment.

For a $10.00 annual library membership fee, lending privileges are available. Books may be signed out for a 2-week period.
