Feeling Flushed
Who knew that a urinal and fresh white tile could be so exciting!

It is amazing how often our experience at a museum is centered around the quality of the restrooms.
We find ourselves in these remarkable historic places with their great collections, and the only thing we mention to our friends as we leave is a problem with a restroom. I must admit that I was guilty of this crime last week after I visited a museum in Charleston, S.C.
In a very small space, our architects have focused on the details:
- The paper towel dispensers are next to the sinks.
- Large floor tile without grout will help with the appearance and easy maintenance.
- Heated floors will ensure comfort.
For the first time, the museum will have fully accessible facilities.
I hope that we are creating restrooms that are wonderfully forgettable and that our visitors’ only memory of the Valentine will be their experience of Richmond’s stories.
