Design standards for toilets and changing areas in schools
We have design standards that schools must follow when building a new toilet or changing area, or upgrading existing facilities.
About the standards
The toilet and changing space design standards provides guidance and reference design layouts for:
- toilets, including accessible toilets and universal bathrooms
- changing spaces
- staff facilities, and
- associated facilities in school buildings.
If you’re designing toilets for a specialist school or learning support hub, talk to our learning support team to make sure the design is fit for purpose.
