TL;DR: you need a 32" door opening (measured with the door at 90 degrees),
a 60" turning radius inside the room (or a 60" wide T-shaped space
<http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/images/ADA-AB6.gif>, which
usually amounts to about the same), and there would need to be sufficient
space to approach the door from the outside (see this figure
<http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/images/ADA-AB24.gif>).
