Which lavatory is disability-accessible?

• A. lav 2R
• B. lav 1L
• C. lav 3A
• D. lav 2L

Answer: (A)

Accessibility in a lavatory means enough space for a wheelchair to enter and maneuver, plus properly placed grab bars and reachable fixtures so a person can use the toilet and sink independently. The lavatory labeled 2R provides the wider door and extra interior clearance, along with the grab bars and reachable sink arrangement needed for disabled access, so it meets those requirements. The other lavatories have standard layouts with limited maneuvering space and fixtures that don’t accommodate a wheelchair, so they aren’t disability-accessible.
