Rest rooms associated with examination rooms, laboratory
facilities, and staff support areas would be considered common
use toilet rooms. All such rest rooms must be fully accessible.
A doctor's private rest room, on the other hand, need only be
adaptable. In other words, it must be designed to satisfy all
space requirements but need not initially have grab bars or knee
space below the lavatory, as long as such features can be added
or modified without much difficulty when the need arises.
