Be aware of the amount of planning that is required for a public park. Landscape architects research accessibility, pedestrian circulation, drainage as well as vegetation, parking lighting, play area placement and how different groups will be able to share the space. The most frequently used structures can often be thought of as a typical extension.

A restroom deserves more consideration. There are sanitation and plumbing regulations, accessibility standards and security, maintenance and building code requirements. It must also withstand heavy weather conditions and years of use by the public.
Romtec’s method makes restroom design an integral part of overall plan of the site, not an afterthought.
Prefabrication Doesn’t Need to Mean identical buildings
The term prefabricated park restroom buildings can suggest a limited selection of standard structures. Kit-based methods can produce different results.
Romtec creates custom designs, providing the engineering documentation and the building materials required for these designs, as well as plans and specifications. It allows landscape architects to select the architectural style and materials that best suit the project. Romtec can also provide assistance in navigating codes, ADA regulations, components, pricing and construction.
If a municipality is in the process of renovating an area of community that dates back to the 1800s, they might be seeking a completely different look than an organization for recreation that is building a new sports facility. Both could benefit from a coordinated building supply process, without the need to design the building in the same manner.
City Streets Create a Different Design Concept
Restrooms installed in dense urban areas have particular operating requirements. Restrooms in dense urban environments could be subject to continual pedestrian traffic, as well as security concerns and vandalism. Additionally, they must keep up with frequent cleaning and take care of issues like the lingering smell and cleanliness.
Romtec’s sidewalk restrooms integrate visibility in the exterior design to encourage natural surveillance and maintain the functions of public facilities. The selection of low-maintenance parts and materials that are vandal resistant is especially important since public entities are frequently constantly requiring repairs.
The objective of building a bathroom is not to simply strengthen it. The layout, materials and surroundings of the restroom should work together to allow it to be easier to manage.
Most of the time, the most important question is underground
Planners first need to determine the facilities available before deciding how a bathroom will appear.
It is possible that a park in a city developed in the past has convenient access to water, electric, and sewer lines for sanitary purposes. It is possible to relocate the same park to a more remote campsite or trailhead, and expanding those utilities could become one of the biggest costs.
Vault toilets can be a great option for those who don’t require water. Romtec also provides components for these facilities, such as its single-piece polyethylene toilet riser. The material, which is a soft, molded plastic is abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant material easily maintained, and specifically designed to prevent the growth of bacterial. It can be installed in new or existing vault restrooms.
Design to accommodate people who arrive after Closing Time
Visitors have the opportunity to go to the restroom for a brief period of time. Maintenance teams must be able to live with the design of a bathroom for a few years.
It is the difference in perspective that is important. It is difficult to clean, parts that are easily damaged, as well as materials that aren’t suitable for repeated cleaning can make small design decisions turn into ongoing cost.
Durability and serviceability should be considered at the beginning stages of design, as well as the cost and aesthetics. Green materials, energy efficient systems, vandal-resistant fixtures, and the right maintenance procedures can all affect the building’s long-term value.
The landscape can still include some small structures
Bathroom design doesn’t have to be in competition with the park around it, but neither should it look accidental.
Romtec’s customized approach offers public agencies and design professionals the chance to coordinate bathroom structures with shelters, pavilions, pools, campgrounds trails, and the surrounding architecture. The construction project must also fulfill all practical requirements, including ADA compliance sanitation, code compliance, and ADA compliance.
When these elements are combined and the result isn’t just a toilet. It’s a piece of public infrastructure that was created to serve the people it serves.
