Restroom Accessibility

This bulletin is a handy reference guide, derived from the 1997 California Uniform Building Code, showing restroom dimensions that are required to meet California Title 24 (and ADA) standards. The minimum room dimensions, indicated by the dimensions at the bottom of the drawings, are optimal but other configurations may comply as well. There are two restrooms shown: one multiple accommodation, the other a single accommodation.

The author is not a licensed architect. Consultation with a design professional is always recommended for a final determination for compliance with the Uniform Building Code.
