 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. The ADA was created, in part, to ensure that a person in a wheelchair is able to move from their car into a building, and access all public areas of the building without assistance. Most churches constructed prior to 1990 did not meet the design requirements of the ADA.

 A complete and carefully prepared set of building plans is the real "foundation" of any building. It's difficult to place a value on the architectural design because it not only conveys most of the intangible artistic elements that will give the building its unique "personality", but it includes the technical information required by the craftsmen who will work on the project.

 Rather than discuss the latest fads in church design, I want to explain what a church should expect to be included in the drawings prepared by an architect. The construction plans should include enough design information that well-qualified sub-contractors, experienced in their field, should be able to bid and construct the facility without having to rely too heavily on the builder and architect during construction.
