Changing Places Facility: IKEA, Dublin
Leading home retailer IKEA is continuing to set the trend across Ireland and the UK by becoming an inclusive retail scheme. IKEA, Dublin installed a Changing Places Toilet in July 2017. Research shows that over three-quarters of people with disabilities have left a shop or business because of poor customer service or lack of disability awareness and poor facilities. (Business Disability Forum)
IKEA, Dublin was motivated to open a Changing Place’s facility to ensure all of their customer’s needs were catered for. To achieve the recommended 3m X 4m space, IKEA combined the previous baby changing facilities and disabled toilet together to provide a ‘bigger and better’ facility for their customers.
Sync Living consulted with Ian Randle, Facilities Manager throughout the entire process and offered expert advice to ensure the best design, equipment and position was achieved for the end user.
Andrew Smyth, Changing Places Specialist from Sync Living commented “ The combination of space, correct equipment and it’s position is key to the success of a Changing Places facility. We are able to provide expert advice to help guide managers, architects and contractors through the entire process”
Sync Living provided and installed all the key equipment needed.
