Private shower room accessibility

[Jim R.]

I am building a multi-purpose building; gym area, kitchen and locker rooms first floor, offices on second floor. We are providing handicap showers in each locker room on first floor (boys/girls). The building has an elevator to second floor, on the second floor one ada restroom for staff and one private ada restroom with a shower stall for private individual use. Does this shower need to be ada accessible since we have those showers provided on the first floor?

Why wouldn't it? [based on the code]

You say "private individual use"

Does that mean it is in a room for a single occupant accessed only through a private office and not for common use or public use?

Or is it in a room for a single occupant for common or public use?

This first scenario, I identified, needs to be adaptable

This second scenario, I identified , needs to be accessible.

When you say "boys/girls", are you meaning accessibility for children only?

Mark has got it....

Yep, a clear understanding of for whom and where the shower is located would determine adaptable or accessible. To many times people think private is off of a common use room or corridor. Private means one person from one office connected to that person's office. Mark is right on as usual.
