The new facilities are bright, spacious and comfortable. Solid materials provide clean, sanitary surfaces. Customer amenities include added space for stowing roller bags, along with full height stalls and doors. The new restrooms feature innovative technology such as occupancy lights for the stalls and sensors to inform custodial staff when supplies need to be refilled. The facilities include exterior honeycomb core windows that provide natural light to the open areas of the restroom while also ensuring privacy.

“These finalists take pride in going above and beyond to provide clean, thoughtful and well-designed restrooms,” said Julia Walsh, Marketing Manager for Cintas. “We encourage the public to show their support for them by voting for their favorites now through August 11.”
