Healthcare facilities experiment with new restroom designs

One example is the growing use of prefabricated toilet rooms


Healthcare facility managers are experimenting with new designs, approaches, and materials to create restrooms that work for patients, their caregivers and visitors, according to an article on the FacilitiesNet website. 

One example is the growing use of prefabricated toilet rooms. Advocate Health of Illinois is installing these in all new patient rooms.

Because the units are made in a controlled environment, their quality is more consistent, while the cost is about the same as toilet rooms built onsite, according to the article.

These units are typically limited to new construction, rather than renovations, due to the access through a building required to install them.
