Bathroom - Quarter Bath, Accessible, Toilet
The accessible quarter toilet bathroom layout is designed to meet ADA standards and ICC/ANSI guidelines, ensuring it caters specifically to the needs of wheelchair users. This layout includes just one essential fixture, the toilet, which is accompanied by carefully positioned grab bars for maximum safety and ease of use. These grab bars are located behind and to the side of the toilet, with an additional vertical grab bar also on the side, providing robust support for users as they transfer from a wheelchair to the toilet.
This design prioritizes independence, safety, and comfort, making it an integral part of creating inclusive and accessible environments. By adhering to recognized accessibility standards, this layout helps facilitate a dignified and secure bathroom experience for individuals with mobility challenges, underscoring the importance of thoughtful and user-centered design in public and private spaces.
Accessible Toilet Quarter Bathroom layouts have a minimum width of 60” (1.52 m), minimum depth of 59” (1.5 m), or large depth of 95” (2.41 m). Overall floor areas for Accessible Toilet Quarter Bathrooms are in the range of 25-40 ft2 (2.3-3.7 m2). A 36" (91 cm) grab bar is mounted on the back wall, with a 42" (107 cm) grab bar and vertical 18" (46 cm) grab bar on the side wall. These grab bars are positioned at a height ranging from 33"-36" (84-91 cm) from the floor. The back wall grab bar is spaced 12" (30.5 cm) from the centerline (CL) of the toilet. The vertical grab bar's placement is carefully considered, with its bottom end 39"-41" (99-104 cm) from the floor and the back wall, further enhancing the bathroom's accessibility and user safety.
An activity clearance of at least 24" (61 cm) provides the minimum necessary space around bathroom fixtures for individual use. A circulation clearance of 30" (76 cm) ensures that in shared bathroom environments, there is ample space for one person to move or pass by another without hindrance. For accessibility, a turning space diameter of 60" (1.52 m) is required for individuals using wheelchairs to maneuver easily within the bathroom.
