Enhancing accessibility at Pittsburgh International Airport
In a pioneering move, Pittsburgh International Airport has set a new benchmark for accessibility by integrating Pressalit’s height-adjustable solutions into its facilities.
This initiative underscores the airport's commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that all travelers, regardless of physical or mental abilities, have access to dignified and safe amenities.

- Community-centric design: Development of sensory-friendly spaces, including Presley’s Place, designed in consultation with advocacy groups and caregivers to provide a calming environment for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
- Positive impact: Enhanced traveler comfort and reduced stress levels, encouraging more families affected by disabilities to consider air travel.
Where should adult changing facilities be located in an airport?
It’s a question we often hear from airport planners, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
Because regulations are still limited, placement decisions often rely on assumptions. Some believe these facilities should be tucked away for privacy, while others advocate for inclusive design that ensures passengers have equal access to amenities. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to miss what truly matters, unless you’ve lived it.
According to Joint Projects, an accessibility consultancy based in the Netherlands that builds its expertise on the lived experiences of individuals with diverse disabilities, the following are essential aspects to consider when choosing where adult changing facilities should be located.
