The idea
We have men's toilets on the lower level with 2 toilets, urinals and sinks. The project will see the urinals removed, one of the toilets reconfigured to create an accessible toilet and the wall removed to make it possible for wheelchair users to access the toilets. A fold down changing table for babies will also be included. All the walls will be lined with easy clean accessible panels and the floor will be covered in a good quality vinyl sheet.
This new toilet block will mean the upper and lower levels of the building can be hired separately and anyone with mobility issues can access toilets on both levels.
What we'll deliver
- Structural changes to make toilets fully accessible
- New toilets, hand basins, wall surfaces, flooring
- Fold down changing table
Why it's a great idea
Wheelchair users and women currently can only access the toilets on the upper level which means anyone hiring the upstairs level are disturbed by users from the lower level. Also, as there is no lift between the two levels anyone needing to use the accessible toilet has to go outside, up the side of the building and come through the upper level which is not ideal especially in cold and wet weather.
Steps to get it done
- Removing the urinals and making the larger toilet stall
- Putting in the new toilet with grab rails etc
- Removing the external wall
- Redecorating
