What are the minimum dimensions for a resident toilet room containing only one toilet?

The appropriate minimum dimensions for a resident toilet room containing only one toilet is 3 feet by 6 feet. This dimension is designed to ensure adequate space for residents to maneuver, maintain privacy, and facilitate accessibility, especially for those with mobility impairments.

The width of 3 feet provides sufficient space for a toilet while allowing room for a resident to enter and exit comfortably. The length of 6 feet accommodates additional features, such as grab bars, which are often installed to assist residents in standing or sitting safely, and may also provide space for a small shelf or area for personal items.

Additionally, these dimensions are in line with regulations and guidelines that promote safety and convenience in the design of facilities serving residents, ensuring that the restroom is functional and meets safety standards.
