Sanitary accommodation design and provision principles
Sanitary facilities must serve all building users; wheelchair-accessible unisex toilets are preferred, and enlarged cubicles in separate-sex facilities benefit various users including those with disabilities, assistance dogs, or children.
Sanitary accommodation needs to be suitable for all people who use the building. For people with a disability, suitable toilet accommodation may take the form of a specially designed cubicle in separate sex toilet washrooms or a self contained unisex toilet. For wheelchair users in particular, a self-contained unisex toilet is always the preferred option since, if necessary, a partner or carer of a different sex can give assistance. Even if wheelchair-accessible accommodation is provided in separate sex toilet washrooms wheelchair accessible unisex toilets should also be provided. The provision of an enlarged cubicle in a separate sex toilet washroom can benefit ambulant people who have a disability, people with assistance dogs, as well as people with children and people (e.g. those with luggage) who need an enlarged space.
