The men's bathroom on the Harris Hall first floor does an apt job at catering to those with disabilities. When you first walk in you notice that there is no impeding lip on the doorway that would affect those with chairs or abnormal gaits. There is a large handicapped shower that accommodates chair users and people that walk different for the same reason. There is also a handicapped stall with all of the usual amenities that cater to a chair user.
There are only a few things I noticed that could be a problem. The sinks are too high for someone using a chair, and the floor is usually left wet after cleaning which could be an issue for anyone with stability issues. Also there are two doors that need to be opened to enter (imagine an airlock on a spaceship-- An inaccessible spaceship). They are heavy and would be very challenging for a chair user to use because of the limited space. I will post pictures of the bathroom shortly, in all of its glory.
