Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer
How does space planning change when you need to accommodate employees with mobility disabilities?
Accessibility in desk space planning requires: 36" minimum clear paths throughout (wider is better — 44"+ preferred); knee clearance under all workstations (27" high, 30" wide, 19" deep minimum); turning radius of 60" at each accessible workstation; no thresholds or floor obstacles; adjustable-height desks (for wheelchair users needing 28"–34" surface height); and accessible light switches, outlets, and controls. ADA standards are the minimum; Universal Design principles suggest going beyond minimums.
