Building services

A well design toilet

o Clean & Dry
o Well ventilated
o Easy to maintain
o Carefully plan layout
o Handicap friendly

Layout

Entrance to male toilet not open directly to urinal area
- avoid the opening with the mirror reflecting the urinals

Single entrance / exit do not cross each other & wide enough
- minimizes hand contact
- improve ventilation

Use electronic products (flush valves & faucets)
- hands-free operation
- promote sanitation & perceived cleanliness
- minimum maintenance

Location of the toilets must be easily accessible
- not be too remote from main traffic
- avoid long distance walking
- for urgency & better personal safety

Signages to the toilet
- sufficient & prominently displayed in all main traffic passageways
-significant to be seen
