Commercial washrooms, restrooms, toilet facilities, and locker rooms are among the few defining interactions between any business or building and the general public or building occupants. One's experience in this very public space will undoubtedly shape one's opinion about how many business owners, real estate developers, and building designers care about their needs.

Many people have legitimate phobias and concerns about using public restrooms, which could lead to physical consequences if not addressed. If thoughtful design can alleviate even some of those anxieties, it would make it easier for that person to navigate the built environment daily. This presentation will examine the importance of well-designed, aesthetically pleasing, holistic, and inclusive commercial washrooms and provide tips and considerations for effective design. The course will cover several topic areas important to users of public commercial facilities today.
