Travel distance to restrooms

[earshavewalls]

We have a private school that is adding some modular units. We are concerned that there are no restroom facilities near these modular units.

My question is: Are there any distance restrictions in the California codes for location of sanitary facilities. I cannot locate anything dealing with E-occupancies, only M and B. The nearest facility is inside the main building, about 300-350 feet away. I am also questioning the location and placement of drinking fountains, as these are recommended on each floor of a school (in the CPC), would they not also be required on out-buildings within a certain distance?

I believe that the I-codes cover these issues, but I am afraid that the California codes do not take these into consideration.

Thanks

There is nothing in the CPC regarding schools

Support Facilities Issues

.... the following issues must be considered:

Toilets: Toilets must be located so that the distance a child must travel is appropriate for the age group. Also, due to the additional staff created by CSR, the adequacy of staff toilets should be evaluated based on the standards in Title 5.
