Design Solutions for Restroom Privacy

A large portion of todays restroom users, from millennials to caregivers to individuals with personal medical needs, view privacy as a key amenity. Further, as all-gender restrooms rise in popularity, and may even be required by law in public facilities in some states, privacy has taken a key role in dialogues surrounding restroom design.

Although there are several avenues through which restroom 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 the rise of privacy in restrooms as an expectation, design solutions that can achieve various levels of privacy in public restrooms and consider the impact of privacy solutions.
