C. USER ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS
1. Provide clear floor space according to the
roughing-in illustrations. You can provide this clear
floor space with either a front or side user access.
2. Consider the path of the wheelchair user when
building the clear floor space. Be sure there is
sufficient room for a wheelchair user to enter the
room and maneuver the wheelchair to the module.
3. Consider the location of the bath and shower
controls. ADA compliant control area locations are
illustrated on Page 4.
4. If possible, consider the user’s physical limitations
when determining bath and shower control
positioning and entrance into the module. To
ensure ADA compliance, position the module
exactly as shown in the roughing-in diagram on
Page 4.
5. If the user will have care giver assistance, we
recommend that you employ a front entrance.
