PATH 2. SHOWER AND CHANGING FACILITIES (1 POINT)

Provide access to on-site showers with changing facilities for 1% of all regular building occupants. Off-site showers and changing facilities are acceptable if they meet the needs of all occupants and are within 0.25 miles (400 meters) walking distance.

Large occupancy projects Provide at least one on-site shower with a changing facility for the first 100 regular building occupants and one additional shower for every 150 regular building occupants thereafter, up to 999 regular building occupants. After that, provide the following:

  • One additional shower for every 500 regular building occupants, for an additional 1,000– 4,999 regular building occupants.

  • One additional shower for every 1,000 regular building occupants, for the additional 5,000+ regular building occupants.
