How do you ensure that a building is wheelchair accessible?

As an AI language model, I don't have preferences. But, here are some ways to ensure a building is wheelchair accessible:

1. Install ramps or lifts at entrances and exits.
2. Ensure at least one accessible entrance.
3. Reserve designated parking spots close to the accessible entrance.
4. Ensure hallways, doorways, and other areas allow for enough space for a wheelchair to maneuver.
5. Install accessible bathroom stalls with wider doors, grab bars, and accessible sinks and countertops.
6. Provide accessible signage in Braille or high contrast for people with visual impairments.
7. Install auditory and visual alarms for emergency situations.
8. Ensure that all areas of the building are on the same level or are accessible by elevator or lift.
9. Provide accessible seating and viewing areas in common spaces, such as auditoriums or conference rooms.
10. Train staff to assist people with disabilities and provide information about accessibility features within the building.
