Exceeding ADA Requirements

• Avoid the one-size-fits-most mentality• Potential Solutions

– Increased turning radius– Modified reach ranges– Equipment mounting heights– Specialized equipment– Family restroom layouts

Turning Spaces & Clear Floor Area• Circular turning space

– Allows 180-degree or 360-degree turn

• T-shaped turning space– Allows 3-point turn– Can conserve space

• Portion of 60" space can be under fixtures, lavatories or accessories as long as knee and toe clearance is provided.

60" Diameter Turning Space T-Shaped Turning Space

Specialized Equipment and Reach Considerations

• Ensure proper mounting heights for reach ranges

• Use equipment and appliances designed for a wide range of users

• Controls must be operable with one hand, without tight grasping, pinching of the fingers, or twisting of wrist and require less than 5 lbs. of force.
