This is for something I'm writing. The character uses a manual wheelchair. She's visiting an office and is impressed by how accessible it is, unlike pretty much the entire rest of the world. What features can it have that she'd notice?
It's a New York security agency which she's visiting as a client, but she can also notice ways in which it's accessible for anyone who works there as well. None of the current employees are physically disabled, so she'd be seeing the potential rather than noticing someone else navigating it in a wheelchair.

Other note: I deliberately didn't mention less wheelchair-oriented accessibility things much, like "fragrance free zone", because honestly, not all wheelies would immediately notice those things if they aren't personally affected, any more than I remember to check for a breast-feeding room half the time. (I'm very child-free.) Even access consultants will focus on the accommodations *they* need most over the ones they don't personally need. Depending on how much this character personally cares about it, they may not notice things like the air purifier or the white noise generator or the Braille labels on the filing cabinets, but they WILL instantly notice annoying stairs everywhere, that the ramp is out back behind the dumpsters, a nasty shag carpet that slows them down, a "handicapped stall" being used for storage, and the like.
