- Recognize the factors that have contributed to privacy as a design expectation in many building types.
- Discuss different toilet partition design solutions and their varying degrees of privacy.
- Review cost-benefit analyses and construction implications of privacy solutions.
- Explain ADA compliance considerations associated with privacy toilet partition design.
A large proportion of today’s public restroom users view privacy as an essential amenity. As all-gender restrooms rise in popularity, privacy has taken a fundamental role in restroom design.
Although there are several avenues through which privacy can be achieved, toilet partition design offers a balance of practicality and privacy that other solutions cannot.
This course will review the factors that have contributed to privacy as an expectation, design solutions that can achieve privacy in commercial restrooms and ADA compliance considerations relevant to privacy.

Color has the ability to affect experience by enhancing the architectural form. In this webinar, presenters will discuss the color and material choices of several projects, focusing on design requirements, constraints and desired effects.

Learning Objectives
- Relate how surfaces across building types can cause the spread of sickness.
- Recognize the impacts of surface contamination.
- Identify design strategies to facilitate cleaning, reduce contamination and cut maintenance time.
- Examine the relationship between interior building products and minimizing the spread of infection.
As we assess what we’ve learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping interior spaces clean is part of the equation to preventing similar situations in the future.
Since no building is immune from the spread of sickness and infection, we look to take precautions through more-stringent cleaning measures to keep guests, students, staff, patients and residents safer and more comfortable.
This course will cover common ways surfaces can become contaminated, the causes, the impacts and the solutions for cleaner, more-resilient interiors.
