One question so far:
1) There a 5 toilet and shower rooms clustered for staff. There is 1 "decontamination shower" in the sallyport/inmate arrival, not clustered with the other 5. (This is not a jail, so I use the term inmate to represent those that they are going to "hold" in their cells.) 2018 IBC 1109.2 #3 requires 50% of the clustered rooms be accessible, so 3 must be. They show a 3' wide x 5' deep shower compartment, with the opening at one end. I can't fit that into any type of accessible shower compartment in 2009 ANSI 117.1. Am I missing something? Then, must the "decon" shower be accessible? I see no exceptions that would apply, but it is also not a normal shower I don't think. Fortunately I have no knowledge of these things!
