Verify elevator dimensions and controls, sanitary provisions and accessible toilets, changing and shower rooms, ablution areas, furniture and drinking fountains, vending and ATMs, and parking and drop-off zones. Review accessible rooms, dining areas, auditoriums and stages, hearing enhancement systems, alarms and means of egress, and comprehensive wayfinding and signage.
