Guide to the ADA Standards

Hospital Outpatient Facilities [§208.2.1]

The Standards require a higher level of accessible parking at hospital outpatient facilities. At least 10% of patient and visitor parking spaces that serve such facilities must comply. This applies to those units in hospitals that provide regular or continuing medical treatment without overnight stay. Other types of medical facilities not located in hospitals, including doctors’ offices and independent clinics, are not subject to this requirement but to the regular scoping table.

Accessible Parking at Outpatient Facilities in Hospitals

Notes:  10% scoping required for visitor/ patient parking serving hospital outpatient facilities.  Within a multi-use facility, the 10% requirement applies to the number of visitor/ patient spaces intended to serve hospital outpatient facilities. Most local zoning codes require parking spaces based on facility square footage, occupant load, and occupancy and can be consulted when determining the number of spaces serving outpatient facilities.  Spaces serving employees or other areas of a hospital are subject to the regular scoping table.
