Must covered dwelling units have the water closets or lavatories specifically designed for disabled persons?
A. No. The Guidelines do not specify the height or design of the water closet or the design of the lavatory. However, the second set of specifications for usable bathrooms does set some specific distance requirements between the toilet or lavatory and adjacent fixtures or walls and establishes height requirements for the lavatory.
