Navy Pier

As Chicago’s lakefront treasure, Navy Pier is one of the most visited leisure and cultural destinations in the world. With more than 3,300 feet of parks, restaurants, exhibits, and more – all uniquely situated on the shore of Lake Michigan – it’s a one-of-a-kind tourist attraction.

When it came time to specify commercial restroom products at the Pier’s Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion, not only did Sloan’s products present the elegant aesthetic that greets guests in a pleasant environment, but they also provide the durability to stand up to the millions of users each year. In addition, Sloan’s products help make the building over 20 percent more efficient than traditional structures.

Aesthetics Defined by Detail

Navy Pier’s Welcome Pavilion sets the tone for an upscale, modern visitor experience. Sloan contributed to this vision with meticulously designed products that bring harmony and sophistication to the restrooms.

• The pavilion’s restrooms feature Sloan Designer Series™ DSG-84000 Wall-mounted Sinks. With their clean, polished lines and Silestone® Spa Suede finish, these sinks create a spa-inspired look that blends function and style. 
• Featuring infrared sensor technology, Sloan’s touch-free BASYS® EFX-800 Faucets achieve a minimalist feel while ensuring a hygienic-friendly experience for every user. 

Reliable Durability

Sloan met Navy Pier’s demands for long-lasting durability with low-maintenance fixtures that simplify operations for facility managers.

• Sloan’s ST-2459 Elongated Wall-mounted Water Closets paired with Royal® 111 SFSM Sensor Flushometers are rated to withstand a static load of 750 pounds, which is ideal for handling high-volume, year-round traffic.
• Sloan’s sensor-operated faucets and flushometers feature advanced technology that eliminates manual handling, minimizing wear and tear while decreasing the spread of germs.

Windy City Water Savings

The Pier has implemented a variety of green initiatives, from stormwater management systems to highly efficient LED lighting. Sloan’s sustainable contributions include water-saving technologies that reduce the pavilion’s environmental impact.

• Water-Saving Urinals & Flushometers: Navy Pier uses Sloan’s SU-7009 Small Washdown Urinals paired with Royal 186 SFSM Flushometers to achieve an ultra-low water consumption rate of 0.125 gallons per flush (gpf). Paired with ST-2459 Water Closets, Sloan’s Royal Sensor Flushometers deliver just 1.28 gpf, helping the pavilion conserve thousands of gallons of water.
• Touchless Efficiency: The BASYS Faucets’ 1.5 gpm flow rate, along with their built-in line purge feature, eliminates stagnant water and prevents waste.
