Chapter 6: Plumbing Elements and Facilities Bathing Rooms
Example Bathrooms
The Standards do not directly specify the size of bathrooms which is determined by the
layout, the type and number of fixtures, and other factors and design choices. How various
requirements are met, including fixture clearances, turning space, and door maneuvering
clearance will determine the minimum dimensions of the room. Bathing facilities, including
single-user bathrooms, can be configured in many different ways. The sample layouts shown
here are used only as examples of how the technical requirements apply.
Bathroom with Standard Roll-In Shower Compartment
This example of a single-user bathing facility features a standard roll-in shower compartment.
