If looks aren't real important, a plastic laundry room slop sink would work
great. Just cut off or bury the legs as needed to get the right height. As
to the faucet- does it really need to be on a timer, or can user education
cover that? A lab/bar style faucet (the big upside-down U), with big paddle
handles for flow, would work great for grownups, but if you are going to
have HOT water to the sink, a temp-limited faucet, or a hidden mixing valve
so temp is preset, is probably indicated.
