What are the ADA Washroom or Bathroom Code Requirements?
Bathrooms: Accessible bathrooms for each gender must be clearly marked with an International Symbol of Accessibility sign. This sign is to be mounted 60 inches above the floor to the centerline of the sign. In addition, it must have raised characters, including Braille, and be mounted on the latch side of the door. The entrance must have a clear opening of 32 inches and include maneuvering clearance adjacent to the push and pull side of the door conforming to the Maneuver Space Diagram. In the interior of a multi-fixture bathroom, there must be a clear floor space having a minimum diameter of 60 inches to allow for turning around. Where there is a privacy wall in a bathroom, there must be a minimum of a 60-inch diameter clear floor space for turning. Lavatories: There must be sufficient clear floor space surrounding the lavatory to allow for a forward approach (i. e., 48 inches clear from the wall where the lavatory is attached to approach and 30 inches of clearance from side to side).
