Question: According to barrier-free design standards in Canada, what is the minimum clear floor space required for a single accessible water closet?

Answer options: ✅ 750 mm (30 inches) by 1200 mm (47 inches)

  • 900 mm (35 inches) by 1500 mm (59 inches)
  • 1000 mm (39 inches) by 1200 mm (47 inches)
  • 1100 mm (43 inches) by 1400 mm (55 inches)

Correct answer: 750 mm (30 inches) by 1200 mm (47 inches)

Explanation: Accessible design standards typically require a minimum clear floor space of 750 mm (30 inches) by 1200 mm (47 inches) directly in front of and alongside the water closet for wheelchair maneuverability. This allows for positioning and transfer. Other dimensions are either insufficient or not standard minimums.
