Yes, but they can always make it keyed, and only give keys to faculty and those who need ADA access.

Oh, I'm sorry! I walk up the stairs of the downtown building because I always do it as exercise. There are elevators in the building, I just don't use them because I like to do some walking. Oh, but yeah, the interview is for a colony. They have this one on one session with you since the girls who join this quarter will be founders. I hope it goes well!

That's what I figured

I really hope that it goes well...I think as a junior a colony is something that you should take a serious look at...you can get invovled big time right away, which is something that I'd be looking for...while you might not get the chance to get invovled big time right awya at an already established chaper.

Either my school doesn't comply or there are circumstances which allow some buildings not to have elevators. There's a building on my alma mater's campus that, to this day, doesn't have any elevators. There's a handicap ramp and a handicap accessible bathroom on the first floor where the conference rooms are. But, that's it for ADA-compliance (in that building, anyway).

If a building is over a certain # of years old, and it was built before ADA requirments and it would ruin the building to put in elevators and the like, they don't have to have them...there is a movie theater by me like that, and while I love the theater, it is a pain in the neck.

What happens if a handicapped person wants to work there? Could (s)he potentially sue the theater?

No, but they would have to "reasonably accommodate her". Meaning making sure all of her job requirements could be done from the first floor, or finding some way to get her up the stairs, etc...
