space
between
racks for
wheelchair
movement

it can be easily found
Television is provided so that people who are waiting to
be served have some form of entertainment

9. Lift
 There is not enough space for people and those in
wheelchairs to go in together.
 There is a panel for wheelchair-
bound people to use which is of
an accessible height.

10. Women’s clinic (Good eg.)
• It is air-conditioned and the staff are friendly
and helpful

handle large amount of patients at one time
without overcrowding any clinic

if they need the bathroom urgently

be tended to
The room is air-conditioned and the lights are dim, thus making a very
soothing and calm atmosphere
There are lots of dead end so that naughty children who run around
may knock into walls and injure themselves

12. BASEMENT 2 (GOOD EG.)
• The doors are very wide so that wheelchairs can pass through
easily

13. BASEMENT 2 (BAD EG.)
• The doors are
automatic and
swing back
without warning,
this is dangerous
as people who

guard may get
injured
Warning is quite small and might be easily missed.
