The U.S. Access Board has added to their collection of technical assistance bulletins on the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Each bulletin provides an overview of what is required, common misunderstandings, and visuals to help explain the requirements.

If you have questions about any of the requirements under the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, call the free ADA help line: (800) 949-4232. In Indiana, you will be directed to the Great Lakes ADA Center for assistance. 

Excerpt from media release:

The U.S. Access Board has released technical bulletins on accessibility to restrooms, bathing facilities, and drinking fountains. This material explains specifications for water closets, toilet compartments, showers, bathtubs, and drinking fountains in the ADA and ABA Accessibility Standards. Each guide clarifies common sources of confusion, answers frequently asked questions, and offers recommendations for best practice. Examples of compliant restrooms and bathing rooms are included to illustrate how various requirements can be met.

Visit the "Guide to the ADA Standards," https://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/buildings-and-sites/about-the-ada-standards/guide-to-the-ada-standards/.

You can view the enforceable ADA standards on the ADA.gov site maintained by the  Department of Justice:
