  • a centrally-located peninsula toilet
  • circulation spaces as defined in the design specifications
  • an automatic door with a clear opening of 950 mm at a minimum (1100 mm for beach and lake locations)
  • a privacy screen.

Their website contains a directory of Changing Places locations, design specifications for building a Changing Places facility, as well as information for achieving the "Changing places" accreditation.
