CI-2009 SSc3.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
Hi all,
We have the showers of the project inside the ADA bathroom due to lack of space in the project.
Is it possible to consider the ADA bathroom/shower room as changing facility at the same time as long as there is a lock to avoid the cloths to get wet? Or do we need to have a separate room for the changing facilities?
Thanks!

Does LEED have any requirements on spacing or the type of bike racks used? What about security?
Are there specific requirements for the changing rooms, such as size?
Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?
Is a general storage room that is accessible to residents acceptable for covered bike storage?
Do I round up or down? What if the calculations show that I need 0.5 showers?

Yes, a bathroom with a shower can also be your changing room - you don't need a separate room. This works fine with smaller projects that only need one shower - when you have more showers and people it can be difficult for multiple bikers to share the shower.
