There are other areas that you might find benches:
Shower rooms often have benches
Because shower rooms are not required to have a bench that complies with section 903, the bench provided is acceptable as long as it does not interfere with the clearance into the shower. It also does not constitute a "shower seat" since it is located outside the shower compartment
bus stops also might have a bench
The bench adjacent to the bus stop and the one located inside the bus stop are not required to comply with either section 903 or section 802.
and even at spa treatment rooms
The bench located at the corner of the treatment room is not fixed and does not have the dimensions required in section 903. But this bench is not required to comply, and therefore it is acceptable in this location and configuration.
The spaces listed above are not required to provide a bench, therefore if a bench is provided it will not have to comply. ADA only requires compliance in dressing rooms, fitting rooms, locker rooms, saunas, and holding cells
