A large proportion of today’s public restroom users view privacy as an essential amenity. As all-gender restrooms rise in popularity, privacy has taken a fundamental role in restroom design.
Although there are several avenues through which 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 privacy as an expectation, design solutions that can achieve privacy in commercial restrooms and ADA compliance considerations relevant to privacy.
Peter Martindell has worked as a manufacturer’s representative in the commercial construction industry since 1999 and has been working at Arch Resources since 2001, calling on architects and distributors in Eastern Pennsylvania. He has experience in consulting with washroom accessories and partitions, and seeks to provide architects and designers with opportunities to meet continuing education credit levels through AIA-approved presentations. Peter lives with his family in the suburban Philadelphia area.

- Understand the factors that have contributed to privacy as a design expectation in many building types.
- Understand different toilet partition design solutions and their varying degrees of privacy.
- Review cost-benefit analyses and construction implications of privacy solutions.
