Why Single Occupancy All Gender (SOAG) design Matters
Single-stall, ADA-compliant restrooms offer vital access and flexibility in public venues. Sometimes called family or unisex restrooms, they serve diverse needs and provide enhanced privacy compared to multi-stall facilities. Key benefits include:
- Supporting Disability Access: Accommodating individuals with both visible and non-visible disabilities who may need space, assistance, or specific features.
- Serving Families: Providing a practical solution for parents and caregivers assisting children or others, potentially including amenities like changing tables or child-sized fixtures.
- Enhancing Privacy: Offering a necessary private space for individuals uncomfortable using multi-stall restrooms, including those with shy bladder syndrome or using ostomy equipment.
- Promoting Inclusion: Providing a safe, comfortable, and necessary option for all people.
These restrooms are fundamental to creating truly welcoming and accessible public environments for everyone.
