Interesting. The attachment also mentions ambulatory compartment stalls. The drawing shows one with grab bars, but it is not as wide as a regular handicap stall. I think this is what the OP wants more of.

I believe the ADA requirements are MINIMUM requirements. The builder is free to go above and beyond. In our community that would be very appreciated.
