Los Angeles Union Station is an iconic destination embodying architectural grandeur, modern sustainability, and user-focused functionality. With 50,000 to 100,000 daily visitors, the station demanded restroom solutions that complemented its Art Deco and Southwestern flair while meeting the stringent requirements of water efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance. Sloan’s cutting-edge restroom products provided the perfect blend of form and function to elevate the station’s facilities.
Sloan’s products, including Optima® Faucets and G2 Exposed Sensor Flushometers, honor Union Station’s aesthetic legacy with a modern touch. The sensor-activated Optima Faucets serve as a testament to how design and functionality can work hand-in-hand.
Visitors exploring the station’s music venues, exhibitions, and restaurants experience restrooms that match the station’s vibrant atmosphere, leaving an impression that combines style with convenience.
Engineered with user-friendly designs, Sloan products make ongoing maintenance straightforward for facility teams. Sloan’s sensor-activated ECOS® and G2 Flushometers eliminate the wear and tear of manual fixtures.
The Union Station facilities team noted the reliability of the Sloan solutions, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks without the burden of frequent restroom repairs.
Water efficiency is paramount in Los Angeles as it recovers from droughts. Sloan’s ECOS Dual-flush Flushometers were a game-changer for Union Station, achieving remarkable water conservation without compromising hygiene with sensors that determine the required flush volume based on user behavior. For instance, if a user stays within range for less than a minute, a 1.1-gallon liquid-waste flush is triggered. If they stay over a minute, a 1.6-gallon solid-waste flush is activated. This intelligent system removes guesswork while ensuring optimal water savings.
With a daily visitor count of up to 100,000 at Los Angeles Union Station, the dual-flush technology conserves an estimated 16,667 gallons of water each day – an essential achievement for the drought-prone region.
“When I think of Sloan, I think of a company that embodies a certain standard of quality and excellence. This mirrors the passion we have for our work here at the station and is why I only trust Sloan products at this facility.”
