PLAN 2b:
ACCESSIBLE 13 ft wide hotel room based on
2004 ADAAG.
Plan provides an 'alternate' roll-in shower,
comparable vanity, open closet, and suite door in
the vestibule.
Furnishings include queen beds.
There is no loss of hotel living space, with this
20004 ADAAG 2004 compliant design.
This figure represents an accessible 13 foot wide hotel room with an open closet, and an adjoining
suite door in the vestibule. Furnishings here include queen beds, and a vanity. (Spaces with an “X”
serve as a plumbing/mechanical chase).
The figure demonstrates that an accessible 13 foot wide hotel room based on 2004 ADAAG does not
decrease the size of the room from the 1991 Standards.
This bathroom has a “comparable vanity counter top space.” § 806.2.4.1. The alternate roll-in shower
is recessed, so the water closet's rear grab bar is only “24 inches long . . . centered on the water closet .
. . due to the location of a recessed fixture adjacent to the water closet.” § 604.5.2 Exception 1. A
“turning space … shall be provided within the room” § 603.2.1, where “required clear floor spaces,
clearance at fixtures, and turning space shall be permitted to overlap. § 603.2.2. This “60 inches
diameter” turning space is “permitted to include knee and toe clearance.” § 304.3.1.
Minimum clearance at the water closet is “60 inches” at its back wall, by "56 inches," § 604.3.1, with
the centerline of the water closet at the minimum 16 inches from the side wall, § 604.2. “The required
clearance around the water closet shall be permitted to overlap . . . accessible routes, clear floor space
and clearances required at other fixtures, and the turning space. No other fixtures or obstructions shall
be located within the required water closet clearance.” § 604.3.2. The 'alternate' roll-in shower is "36
inches wide and 60 inches deep . . . a 36 inch wide minimum entry shall be provided.” § 608.2.3
In the living/sleeping area a “T-shaped space within a 60 inch square” serves as a turning space. §
304.3.2. A single clear floor space between two beds is sufficient, as it “shall not be required on both
sides of a bed.” § 806.2.3 Exception. All doors have the required maneuvering clearances. § 404.2.
At least one of the operable windows must be accessible, on an accessible route for “operation by
occupants.” § 229.1. Environmental controls [AC unit] must have a “clear floor space” § 309.2,
within “the reach ranges.” § 309.3.
