Seating Areas
For those with mobility needs or specific preferences, it is important to go beyond basic seating arrangements. These recommendations focus on providing tailored solutions to ensure maximum comfort and accessibility, enhancing the waiting experience for individuals with varying abilities. Thoughtful design choices can create an inclusive environment that caters to a wide range of users.
- Designate wheelchair and scooter spaces with enough room to sit with companions.
- Provide seating with adjustable heights (45-47,5 cm) for various users.
- Ensure seating is accessible for mobility devices and prams.
- Maintain a 120 cm gap between seats for easy movement.
- Offer a variety of seating options to cater to different needs.
- Install support surfaces at multiple heights for standing and seated individuals.
