LAVATORY DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (continued)—A lavatory's forward approach clear floor space, 30 inches in width by 48 inches in depth (762 x 1219 mm), is centered on the lavatory. The approach clear floor space, in concert with knee clearance, allows a person to keep both hands forward while the lavatory is being used. A turning space under a lavatory also has an advantage. It provides maneuvering space near an adjacent fixture that a cabinet, countertop and sink cannot provide. Knee clearance beneath a lavatory is illustrated on page 132.
