Site Plans Include information on the exterior route of travel. When required, at least one accessible route shall be provided from public transportation stops, accessible parking and accessible passenger loading zones, and public streets or sidewalks to the accessible building entrance they serve When applicable, at least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, facilities, elements, and spaces that are on the same site. The accessible route shall, to the maximum extent feasible, coincide with the route for the general public. Floor Plans Include information on the accessible path of travel throughout facility or remodel project. If an area is not accessible, explain which one and why is it not accessible (e.g.. Mechanical Penthouse—no accessibility required by code). • Enlarged drawings to illustrate toilet accessibility are recommended but are not absolutely necessary, especially if a typical mounting heights sheet is being used. • Label toilets by user group as "Patient," "Staff," or "Public," and indicate which serve the remodeled area on remodel projects. • On remodel projects show a small-scale plan of the whole facility with a clear designation of the remodeled area and show the accessible path of travel to it, from the entrance into the building. • On remodel projects show the location of all existing and new toilets, drinking fountains, and public telephones serving the remodeled area and indicate if they are accessible or not. • Code-required signage must be described and located on drawings and/or specifications; this includes signage for stairs, elevators, evacuation, toilets, maximum occupancy, assistive listening, hazards, and accessible entrances.

Enlarged Drawings Provide enlarged drawings for toilets and bathrooms, stairs, elevators, special public and “stall” areas (e.g., reception desks, waiting rooms, and lockers), and patient bedrooms. At a minimum, enlarged drawings should be twice the size of general floor plans. It is best practice to also include interior elevations of such spaces alongside of the enlarged plans to help explain how requirements for vertical dimensions are complied with.
