84 unit HUD affordable housing apartment building; 22700 sf per floor; 3 floors with elevators; type IIB; NFPA13R;
5 of the apartments are ADA compliant.
the bathrooms in each of the apartments have 30" x 60" shower stalls.
do the shower head and controls go on the 60" long wall or the 30" long wall in the ADA compliant apartment?

figure 37 (b) shows the shower head and controls on the 30" wall and says the "...controls are placed on a side wall..." aka 30" wall.
figure 35 (b) seems to show the shower head 27" max off corner on the 60" wall.

figure 37 (b) shows the shower head and controls on the 60" wall 27" max from the corner BUT says "...shower head and control area may be located on either side wall.."
may have answered own question by doing this post...any comments appreciated...sure seems a bit convoluted...
we are now showing head & controls on 30" wall in the ADA units.
