Accessibility Requirements All comfort stations must comply with federal accessibility standards. These requirements determine architectural elements, such as door width and placement, stall size, and height of fixtures. They also affect siting requirements related to slope, distance, and the surface material of parking lots and sidewalks accessing the restroom. If existing comfort station buildings cannot be made accessible, then a second accessible comfort station could be constructed adjacent to the original comfort station to provide an accessible option, or signage directing visitors to the nearest accessible facility can be installed until the building can be replaced. Ensure the following amenities are within reach: toilet, toilet paper dispenser, faucet, soap dispenser, hand dryer, and waste receptacle. In addition, make floors to comfort stations flush (vertically) with the material outside of the comfort station to facilitate smoother ease on wheelchairs.

Comfort stations can be the most complicated facilities for accessibility because there are many codes associated with restrooms and restroom fixtures, including the following:
