Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is a happening place. With non-stop flights to over 100 U.S. locations and 40 countries, thousands of people pass through the airport every day.

Thanks to the $14 billion LAX Modernization Project, building owners have added new and updated concourses, restrooms, and other spaces with the goal of maximizing sustainability and efficiency. A variety of Sloan products were selected for restrooms throughout the facility due to their cost-effective maintenance and futuristic design.

Wheels Up for Aesthetics 

When LAX embarked on its modernization, aesthetics was a key consideration. The airport needed restrooms that would reflect not just functionality but a welcoming design. This is where Sloan’s innovative products made an undeniable impact. 

• Sloan’s AER-DEC® Integrated Sink System provides style, clarity, and a cohesive look.
• Sloan’s BASYS® Sensor Faucets deliver modern design and precision operation.
• Touch-free soap dispensers ensure a seamless, clean appearance.
• Hand dryers are integrated directly into the sink for a sleek, clutter-free basin.
• Custom countertops offer durable, high-end surfaces tailored to each terminal.

High and Low 

In addition to aesthetics and sustainability, Sloan prioritized durability and ease of maintenance throughout the restroom design at LAX. 

• Sloan AER-DEC Integrated Sink System: An all-in-one solution featuring a touch-free soap dispenser, faucet, and hand dryer combined with the basin that reduces water and paper mess, keeping floors dry and reducing cleaning frequency.

California’s frequent droughts make water conservation a top priority. LAX’s modernization effort embraced this challenge head-on, with Sloan’s water-efficient solutions leading the charge.
