Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: April  2026

 

Our Commitment

The Kiam Building is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are continually working to improve the experience for all of our visitors.

 

What Web Accessibility Is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

 

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of AA. This site’s contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

 

• Set the language of the site

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

 

Assistive Technology Support

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)

• Keyboard-only navigation

• Browser-level zoom and text resizing

• High contrast display modes

We regularly test our site against these technologies to help ensure a consistent and usable experience.

 

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Known limitations include:

• Some historical photographs and archival images may not yet have complete alternative text descriptions. We are actively working to address this.

• Third-party embedded content such as maps or social media feeds may not fully conform to our accessibility standards, as these are controlled by outside providers. We contact vendors about issues when they are identified.

If you encounter any accessibility barriers not listed here, we want to hear from you.

 

Accessibility Arrangements at the Property

Fair Housing and Non-Discrimination

The Kiam Building does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or any other protected class under the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or applicable Texas and federal law.
