Washroom Partitions

 

Clear Floor Space to accommodate a single wheelchair must be at least 30" x 48" (760 x 1219mm). The span can be positioned for a forward or parallel approach to equipment. A portion of the clear floor space may be located under fixtures, lavatories, or accessories as long as the required knee and toe clearance is provided. If properly centered in front of controls and operating mechanisms, the clear floor space will allow both left- and right- hand access to the equipment. Floor spaces may have to be wider if elements are placed in alcoves.

 Turning Space at least 60" (1524mm) in diameter is required by a single wheelchair to make a 180-degree turn. A 60" x 60" (1524 x 1524mm) T-shaped turning space with 36" (914mm) wide aisles to allow a three-point-turn is also acceptable and may be used to conserve space in some installations. A portion of the 60" (1524mm) diameter or T-shaped turning spaces may be located under fixtures, lavatories, or accessories as long as the required knee and toe clearance is provided.
