What are the seating requirements for government building waiting areas?

Government building waiting areas must meet ADA accessibility standards: at minimum, 5% of seating (but not less than one space) must be accessible with firm seating, clear floor space for a companion, and proper seat heights (17–19 inches). Seating must accommodate diverse populations — weight ratings of 500+ lbs are appropriate for public-facing spaces. Durability requirements are high — government facilities are used constantly with limited replacement budgets. GSA schedule procurement may be required for federal facilities. Vinyl or commercial fabric that can be sanitized is common. Gang seating with interlocking feet (so pieces can't be moved and repositioned) is used in high-security or high-volume public areas.
