How High Does a Reception Desk Have to Be to Be Accessible? | STARJOY
This article addresses the crucial question of reception desk height for accessibility in hotels, a key concern for designers and those procuring custom hotel furniture. Understanding ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance is vital for ensuring inclusivity and avoiding potential legal issues.
ADA Standards and Reception Desk Height
* The ADA doesn't specify a single correct height for reception desks. Instead, it focuses on providing *accessible counters* within a specified range.
* The key is ensuring that a portion of the counter is accessible to wheelchair users. This typically means a section at a lower height, often between 28-34 inches.
* The overall counter height can be higher for standing staff, but the accessible portion is paramount.
Designing for Inclusivity: Beyond ADA Compliance
* Consider the range of heights that may be needed, not just the minimum ADA standards.
* A combination of heights might be best – a lower section for wheelchair users, a slightly higher section for those who prefer standing or find the lower section too low.
* This flexible approach enhances usability and fosters a more inclusive environment for all guests.
Custom Design Considerations for Accessible Reception Desks
* Custom design allows for tailored solutions to perfectly meet your hotel's specific accessibility needs and aesthetic requirements.
* Consult with accessibility specialists during the design phase.
* Incorporate features like adjustable height mechanisms for flexibility.
* Consider the use of knee space to ensure ample room for wheelchair users.
Material Choices and Accessibility
* The materials used in the construction of the reception desk also play a role in accessibility.
* Choose durable and easy-to-clean surfaces.
* Consider the impact of material choices on comfort and usability.
