– 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.
