What: The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) will unveil the addition of a height-adjustable universal changing table at the Ohio Statehouse to meet the restroom needs of people with disabilities, people with mobility challenges, and those with complex medical conditions.

When: Monday, September 18 at 11 a.m.

Where: The Map Room on the Ground Floor of the Ohio Statehouse,
1 Capitol Square, Columbus, 43215

Why: To ensure that people with disabilities have a clean, hygienic and safe space to address their restroom needs.

To provide people with disabilities and those who have mobility challenges with access the “the People’s House” and their elected officials.

To ensure inclusion for all citizens, elected officials and visitors.

What are universal changing tables? Universal changing tables are similar to infant changing tables
found in restrooms at restaurants and shopping and
entertainment venues, but are designed to accommodate the
height and weight of adults. They can also be used for infants
and children.

Who: This project was a collaboration between CSRAB, the Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services, and Changing Spaces Ohio, an organization advocating for accessible restrooms for all.

Interviews: We invite you to join Ohio Statehouse Director Laura Battocletti, Montgomery County
Board of Developmental Disabilities Services Superintendent Pamela Combs, and
