Minimum ADA Bathroom Requirements
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. This law includes specific requirements for accessible bathrooms in public places.
The minimum ADA bathroom requirements include:
- At least one accessible toilet stall per bathroom
- The toilet stall must be a minimum of 36 inches wide and 60 inches deep
- The toilet stall must have grab bars on both sides of the toilet
- The sink must be a maximum of 34 inches high and must have knee clearance of 27 inches
- The mirror must be a minimum of 42 inches high and must be tilted at a 15-degree angle
- The bathroom must have accessible lighting and ventilation
These are just the minimum requirements for ADA accessible bathrooms. Many public places exceed these requirements to make their bathrooms more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities.
In addition to the minimum requirements, there are a number of other features that can make bathrooms more accessible for people with disabilities. These features include:
- Accessible showers
- Accessible bathtubs
- Accessible changing tables
- Accessible sinks
- Accessible mirrors
- Accessible lighting
- Accessible ventilation
By including these features in public bathrooms, businesses can make their facilities more welcoming and inclusive for all people.
