ISSUE 14:
Doorway circulation space
Importance of the feature
Doorway circulation space is a critical design and construction issue for people who use wheelchairs or scooters, especially for swing doors.
A person using a wheelchair has to be able to reach the handle and there has to be enough circulation space for the door swing plus the spatial area for the person in the wheelchair. Once the door is opened, of course, the person has to be able to manoeuvre through the doorway.
