Stepping Thru Toilet & Bathing Facilities – What Makes Them Accessible

DESCRIPTION
Although toilet and bathing facilities have been around forever and the new ADA Standards for over a half dozen years, we still have facilities that are not completely compliant. The major question is, why? Each component within a toilet or bathing room has a myriad of requirements needing to fit together like a puzzle. We will take an in-depth look at the technical and scoping requirements for Access and how it impacts toilet and bathing facility design, whether single-user, multi-user, or multiple single user, including requirements for each of the individual components.
