Bathroom - Three-Quarter Bath, Accessible (2-Wall)
Bathroom - Three-Quarter Bath, Accessible (2-Wall)
The accessible 2-wall three-quarter bathroom layout is designed to cater comprehensively to wheelchair users, featuring three core fixtures: an accessible shower with an included seat and grab bars, a toilet with adjacent grab bars for added support, and an accessible sink that ensures ease of use. This layout thoughtfully places the toilet and sink along one wall, optimizing space and accessibility, while the shower is inset into an adjacent wall, maximizing functional use of the bathroom's footprint. Grab bars are strategically located within the shower on all sides, with an additional vertical bar on the control side for enhanced stability and safety.
Adherence to ADA standards and ICC/ANSI guidelines guarantees that every element of this bathroom layout is accessible, providing a safe, comfortable, and independent bathroom experience for individuals with mobility challenges. This design not only prioritizes practicality and compliance but also dignity and independence in daily routines.
Accessible 2-Wall Three-Quarter Bathroom layouts have typical widths between 9’-10’4” (2.74-3.15 m) and depth of 7’6” (2.29 m). Overall floor areas for Accessible 2-Wall Three-Quarter Bathrooms are in the range of 54-70 ft2 (5-6.5 m2). To meet accessibility requirements, bathrooms are designed with a turning space diameter that must exceed 60" (1.52 m), highlighting the commitment to inclusivity and mobility freedom.
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.
