1. Provide either a bathtub complying with Section 11B-607 or a transfer type shower complying with Section 11B-608.2.1.
2. Provide either a standard roll-in type shower complying with Section 11B-608.2.2 or an alternate type roll-in shower complying with Section 11B-608.2.3.
For example, a new 275-room hotel must have a total of ten mobility accessible guest rooms; a minimum of three of the ten must have roll-in showers per Table 11B-224.2. In addition to those ten mobility accessible rooms, 17 guest rooms are required to provide communication features per Table 11B-224.4. Only 10 percent of the rooms required to provide mobility features, or one mobility accessible room, may also be used to satisfy the requirements of Table 11B-224.4. Sixteen additional communication accessible rooms must be provided. ◼
ETA Editor's Note
2019 CBC allows a 36” x 36” transfer shower to be used in transient lodging guest rooms, housing at a place of education, and social service center establishments and aligns the CBC requirements with the requirements of the ADA Standards. However, the scoping requirements for facilities with two to fifty guest rooms is more stringent than the 2010 ADA Standards. The differences between the number of guest rooms with particular mobility features required by ADA as compared with CBC can be problematic for small transient lodging facilities (less than 51 guest rooms). ETA considers the ADA requirement for rooms without roll-in showers to be a recognition that some individuals with mobility impairments actually prefer an accessible bathtub or transfer-type shower (36" x 36" – see 11B-608.2.1). In order to comply with the ADA and CBC requirements for transient lodging facilities with 25 guest rooms or less, it is necessary to provide a minimum of two rooms with mobility features, one with a roll-in shower, and one with an accessible bathtub or transfer-type shower (36" x 36" – see 11B-608.2.1). For transient lodging facilities with 26 to 50 guest rooms, it is necessary to provide a minimum of three rooms with mobility features, one with a roll-in shower, and two with either an accessible bathtub or a transfer-type shower (36" x 36" – see 11B-608.2.1).
It should also be noted that the definition of transient lodging in both ADA and CBC excludes residential dwelling units intended to be used as a residence, as well as private facilities occupied by the proprietor as his/her residence, containing no more than five rooms for rent.
11B-224.2.1 Fifty or less guest room facilities.
Facilities that are subject to the same permit application on a common site that each have fifty or fewer guest rooms may be combined for the purposes of determining the required number of accessible rooms and type of accessible bathing facility.
11B-224.2.2 More than fifty guest room facilities.
Facilities with more than fifty guest rooms shall be treated separately for the purposes of determining the required number of accessible rooms and type of accessible bathing facility.
