visitability
Wheelchair access standard
Visitability is a design standard ensuring buildings allow access for people with mobility impairments, even if they don't live there.
The core requirements are typically a zero-step entrance, wide doorways, and a bathroom on the main floor.
Unlike full accessibility, visitability focuses on basic entry and movement: The new housing development was built with visitability in mind.
The term emerged from disability rights advocacy promoting inclusive residential construction.
