Hi, Showers and Changing Rooms of my project are located into the basement, dedicated to parking and circuation, with acess from outdoor. We have no space to provide toilettes close to changing rooms. The question is: in order to achieve this credit is it necessary to provide toilette close to Showers and Changing rooms? Thank you!!

Since the credit only addresses showers, we are not required to include toilets in the changing room. If it’s possible to locate the showers on a different level, or include a toilet near the changing room your users will probably be much happier in the long run!
