| RECENT | The Adoption of IBC 1105.1.1April 2025 In 2021, after nearly a decade of advocacy, AAADM celebrated the International Building Council (IBC)’s adoption of an automatic door requirement for public buildings. Specifically, IBC 1105.1.1 stipulates that, in facilities meeting building occupant load thresholds for a number of common occupancies, public entrances that are required to be accessible shall have one door be either a full power-operated door or a low-energy power-operated door. However, this did not magically make all public buildings accessible. Each state has to individually adopt the code. On this page, we will track states that have already done so … and those that remain. IBC 1105.1.1 addresses a public need. It is widely accepted that automatic doors enhance overall building accessibility and accommodate a wide array of physical conditions that might make using standard doors difficult or impossible. AAADM believes it is important to see this effort through to its adoption in all 50 U.S. states. If your state is not on this list, we encourage you to reach out to your state representative and tell them how important IBC 1105.1.1 is to you and their other constituents.
