One of Amusement Logic’s concerns in the design and construction of water, animal and theme parks, hotels and resorts, campsites, shopping centres and other leisure and tourism facilities is that all people should be able to enjoy them. To that end, it takes the utmost care to ensure that its projects are fair, and that its facilities are inclusive of the general public, regardless of their status. One way of guaranteeing this orientation, for example, is manifested in the design and construction of the toilets that serve these attractions. They must therefore be adapted to people with reduced mobility and/or different degrees of functional diversity.
In addition to the usual elements, such as a toilet with grab bars and an accessible washbasin, the toilets and washrooms must have enough space for the user and two support persons. It is also advisable to include a height-adjustable electric stretcher for changing adults, paper to cover the stretcher and a crane for transferring from the chair to the stretcher and vice versa. A sliding door helps to make the best use of space, while the non-slip floor provides safety. An airtight waste container is a necessary element of hygiene. Finally, an adapted shower and a reclining mirror, all in accordance with the applicable regulations, complete the inclusive toilet.
With the design and construction of these toilets, we ensure that people with functional diversity and the elderly, an integral part of our society, have access to leisure in our park, hotels and resorts, campsites, and shopping centres projects and in general, in all attractions for leisure and tourism.
