These minimum requirements are often usability minimums as well, with requirements below which many cannot operate easily, safely or at all. In spite of this, nationwide accessibility mandates have created the widespread expectation for more usable Fig. 3 Restroom Entrance and Exit Maneuvering Clearances. environments. In the interests of an even wider reach for more accommodating designs, and to extend those designs beyond accessibility minimums, the concept of universal design arose. A universal approach includes improved usability characteristics and/or options in all products, building elements, and spaces to ensure that they are usable to the greatest extent For exit—front approach possible by people of all ages and abilities. A universal approach will also produce improved

4 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LAVATORIES 48 min Recommended 1220 LAVATORIES are important features in public restrooms to provide convenient hygienic facilities for all people. At least one area in each restroom must meet or exceed 2010 ADA Standards for accessible lavatories. If the lavatory is to be installed in a countertop, place it as close as possible to the front edge so it is accessible. An accessible lavatory must be installed IN with the front of the highest point of either the rim or counter surface, 34 inches (865mm) 24 Recommended maximum above the finish floor, and have a knee clearance of at least 27 inches (685mm) 610 48 min minimum from the bottom of the apron to the finish floor (Fig. 4). The knee clearance must 1220 extend at least 8 inches (203mm) under the front edge of the lavatory. The protrusion of the overflow (in the Standards, the “dip in the overflow”) shall not be considered in determining knee and toe clearance. The required forward approach must provide clear floor space in front and under the lavatory 30 inches wide by 48 inches deep (760 by 1220mm) minimum. Except in residential dwelling units, a lavatory with a knee space can no longer the clear floor space for an accessible toilet. Complete the design by providing the required amount of toe clearance underneath the lavatory of 17 inches (430mm) to 25 inches (635mm) maximum. Toe clearance at least 9 inches (230mm) above the finish floor must be OUT provided for the full depth. Washfountains must also meet the 2010 ADA Standards clearance 22 560 and reach requirements. 42 min 24 Recommended 1065 610 WATER SUPPLY, DRAIN PIPES AND EXPOSED SURFACES under lavatories must 48 min Recommended be insulated or otherwise configured to protect against contact.

One solution is wrapped pipes (Fig. 4). A recommended design solution is to install a removable protective panel under the lavatory (Fig. 5). Fig. 3b Opposing Doors. (Door has closer and no latch)

If a door has a closer or spring hinge it must be adjusted to meet the minimum opening and closing requirements.
