Com pa rison of Single-User Toilet Room Layouts
2010 Standards
Plan-1C: 2010 Standards Minimum with
Out-Swinging Door
(entry door has both closer and latch)
7’-0” x 5’-6” • 38.50 Square Feet
This plan shows the same typical features of a single-
user toilet room that meets the minimum requirements
of the 2010 Standards as Plan-1B does except the
entry door has both a closer and latch. Because the
door has both a closer and latch, a minimum additional
foot of maneuvering space is required on the latch side
(see section 404.2.4.1 and Figure 404.2.4.1(c) of the
2010 Standards).
This layout is six point two percent (6.2%) larger than
the accompanying Plan-1A: 1991 Standards Minimum
with Out-Swinging Door example.
