What are ADA clearance requirements for office desk areas?
ADA Standards for Accessible Design require a minimum 60" turning diameter for wheelchair users in accessible work areas. Approach clearance to a work surface must be at least 30" wide and 48" deep for a forward approach, or 60" wide for a parallel approach. Knee clearance must be at least 27" high, 30" wide, and 19" deep. Accessible work surface height is 28"–34" above the floor.
