Access to the Building

To ensure the main entrance is usable by all guests, the following aspects should be taken into account:

Core Requirements

Step-free access	Provide step-free or low-threshold access (maximum height of 2 cm)
Maneuvring space	Provide sufficient approach space in front of doors (at least 150 × 200 cm)
Doors	Provide easy-to-operate or automatic doors
Visibility	Make glass doors easy to identify with high-contrast markings

Portable ramps	Provide portable ramps to bridge steps and higher thresholds where needed. This enables wheelchair users and people using walking aids to enter more easily.
Easier door access	Use door stoppers to keep doors open. This makes access easier for guests with mobility disabilities, or bulky luggage.
Marking glass surfaces	Mark glass doors and glass surfaces with film in two contrasting colors at heights of 90–100 cm and 150–160 cm. This helps prevent injuries for guests with visual disabilities.
Remove trip hazards	Secure loose floor mats and carpets or recess them into the floor. This is particularly important for guests with visual disabilities or an unsteady gait.
Call systems	Mount call systems such as doorbells at an accessible height (80–110 cm) This enables wheelchair users and people of short stature to ring independently.
