MEDINA, OH, UNITED STATES, January 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GBA Architectural Products + Services, a division of Medina Glass Block, has released a new on-demand AIA continuing education course focused on the design and specification of glass floor walkways and stair treads, using GlassWalk™ structural glass systems as a practical reference for walkable glass applications.

Hosted through GreenCE (Ron Blank), the one-hour narrated video course explores how glass can be integrated into walkways and stair systems while addressing performance priorities that influence day-to-day usability and occupant confidence underfoot.

The course provides 1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour, and 1 GBCI General Hour, with additional credit types available where applicable.

Course topics focus on real-world specification decisions

According to the course outline, participants will review design considerations including:

Glass type selection and how it relates to structural performance, durability, privacy, and aesthetics

Slip-resistance strategies and surface detailing for safety and comfort

Structural supports and connection detailing to support stability, code compliance, and long-term performance

Sustainability connections, including daylighting, energy efficiency, and potential LEED pathways

GBA notes the course is designed to help architects and design teams translate design intent into buildable solutions for glass circulation elements, including walkways and stair systems.
