I wish we had at least one preparation sink that was low enough to be wheelchair accessible. We don't have anyone in a wheelchair right now, but some members have friends and neighbors who use wheelchairs. And in the future, we might have members who use wheelchairs. And a low sink would be easier for children who are helping in the kitchen to reach. I don't know if it would be possible for a person in a wheelchair to use a deep sink, even if it were low enough. The deep sinks are great, especially for large pots, etc., but they are a little hard on the back, even for those of us who don't have back problems and are standing up. I also wish we had at least one preparation counter that was low enough to be wheelchair accessible. And such a low counter would also be easier for children who are helping in the kitchen to reach. Oh, by the way, I strongly recommend that every common kitchen have padded mats of some sort, especially in the clean-up areas, because standing on one's feet while pushing dishes around and scrubbing sinks and counters, etc. can be wearing on the feet and the back when the floor is even a little hard.
