A 麻豆传媒映画washroom is in the running for the "best restroom" in the country.
The finalists for the 2023 , from uniform company , feature innovative, immaculate, and aesthetically appealing washrooms.
The annual contest highlights businesses creating and maintaining "exceptional" washrooms as judged on five criteria: cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality, and unique design elements.
The public is invited to and may vote as many times as they wish until July 7. The winner will receive "$2,500 in facility services from Cintas to help maintain their award-winning washrooms," explains a press release.
Located in an inclusive community centre, The Gathering Place Washrooms serve the city's diverse population including "people who are unhoused, individuals who are marginalized, seniors, newcomers, and the LGBTQ+ community."
With support from the city, the architects renovated the Gathering Place’s existing washrooms to create universally accessible, durable, and unexpectedly stylish spaces for folks that might not otherwise have access to inviting and fun public washrooms.
"One of the washrooms features a custom-built footbath with a bench for quick cleaning, while fully accessible showers are also provided. Access to clean, safe, accessible washrooms is a human right; making them charming and chic in the process is just a great idea," writes Cintas.
The designers also made the facilities "easy to maintain, keep clean and safe to use."
