Com par ison of Single-User Toilet Room L ayouts
1991 Standards and 2010 Standards
Plan-3: Meets Both 1991 Standards
and 2010 Standards
7’-0” x 5’-9” • 40.25 Square Feet
This plan shows an example of a single-user toilet
room that meets the minimum requirements of both
the 1991 Standards and 2010 Standards. A T-shaped
turning space has been used (see Fig. 3(a) of the
1991 Standards and Figure 304.3.2 of the 2010
Standards) to maintain a compact room size. An out-
swinging door also minimizes the overall layout depth
and cannot swing over the required clear floor space
or clearance at any accessible plumbing fixture.
This layout is eleven percent (11%) larger than the
Plan-1A: 1991 Standards Minimum with Out-Swinging
Door example shown at the beginning of these plan
comparisons.
