Los Angeles Convention Center

In a town known for style and entertainment, the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) is a community symbol of world-class events. It hosts more than two million visitors attending 350 events annually, from concerts to Grammy Awards celebrations to trade shows.

The building, originally built in 1971, was undergoing a modernization and expansion effort, and the owners decided to pursue a LEED Gold certification. That is where sustainable Sloan products played an indispensable role in saving thousands of gallons of water per year, helping LACC become a symbol of environmental consciousness.

World-class Aesthetics 

During LACC’s modernization and expansion, aesthetics were a priority to match the venue’s reputation for hosting world-class events. Sloan stepped up with innovative solutions that didn’t just meet but exceeded expectations, starting with its HYB-1000 Hybrid Urinals. Featuring a high-gloss vitreous china surface for a clean, modern look, these urinals offer a slim, space-saving profile that perfectly blends with the venue's contemporary restroom design. 

Looking Smart

Managing a facility as expansive as LACC, which boasts 350 events per year, requires solutions that are not only reliable but also easy to maintain. Sloan checks those boxes with the following products:

• Royal® 186 0.125 gpf Flushometers: Featuring Smart Sense Technology™ for proactive sensing and reliable performance in high-use environments, these battery-powered, side-mounted fixtures are engineered for streamlined installation, easy replacement, and consistent operation. They reduce malfunctions, minimize hands-on service, and support quick turnarounds during maintenance to keep facilities operational during peak event traffic.
• HYB-1000 Hybrid Urinals: Advanced hybrid technology, featuring a durable, non-porous surface, virtually eliminates the frequent cleanups, stains, and odors associated with older urinal systems. 

Championing Sustainability 

With the backdrop of California’s ongoing water conservation challenges, every drop saved counts. Sloan’s installations made an indelible impact on the LACC’s water usage and environmental goals. 

• Retrofitting 224 urinals with Sloan’s Royal Flushometers featuring 0.125 gpf dramatically reduced water consumption across the facility by delivering precise water control for maximized savings at every flush. 
• LACC’s water closets were retrofitted with Royal 111 Dual Flush Side Mount (DFSM) 1.6/1.1 gpf Flushometers, providing the facility even more water-saving benefits.
• Replacing 18 outdated fixtures with HYB-1000 Hybrid Urinals help balance water savings with superior hygiene. This led to further reductions in annual water use, a critical achievement in drought-prone California, and directly contributed to LACC’s LEED Gold certification.
