A Planning Guide for Accessible Restrooms
Designing accessible restrooms requires an understanding of why such standards exist. By becoming familiar with the unique needs of various users, architects and designers can better design restrooms that satisfy ADA standards for toilet compartments, lavatories, accessory operability and beyond. When requirements for clearances, mounting heights, protrusion and turning radiuses are satisfied— and the appropriate products are used in doing so—the result is a compliant, user-friendly restroom that supports the building owner’s goals. This course reviews relevant requirements, strategies and solutions for achieving accessible, and in some cases, universal, design.
You will learn:
1. How accessibility standards accommodate a diverse set of users and the general prescriptive requirements for accessible restroom design mandated by ADA
2. Requirements for accessible lavatories and restroom accessories
3. Requirements for accessible toilet compartments of varying sizes and the accessories needed to complete their specification
4. Requirements for accessible bathing facilities
