This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. This course reviews restroom design trends for commercial buildings by focusing on sink/lavatory system technology and the sustainability and accessibility trends surrounding them.
The program will discuss the expanding role architects and designers play in accessible designs – striking a balance between hand washing needs and design flexibility. The program compares a variety of sink/lavatory systems and corresponding components.

Additionally the course will cover appropriate ADA, LEED and Wellness design criteria.
