Although toilet rooms and bathing facilities have been around forever, and the new ADA Standards for more than ten years, we still have facilities with restrooms or bathing rooms that are not completely compliant. The question is, why? Is it the designer? Or the builder? Or is it on‐going maintenance issues? And it can be some of each of these, since in one restroom, whether a single‐user or a multi‐user facility, there can be as many as 150 measurements that are required for compliance. Each component element within a restroom or bathing room has a myriad of requirements that need to fit together like a puzzle. This chapter will give you an indepth understanding of how all of these pieces should fit together and inter‐relate.
