PLATFORM Night Club

The brainchild of owners Brad and Jeana Goldman, PLATFORM is a night club that fuses music, art, and tech – a creation of soul, substance, and connection. After Brad and Jeana got married in 2019, the couple tossed around the idea of turning their shared passions of electronic music and music production into a business in their hometown.

“We both looked at each other and said, ‘Hey, let’s get serious about this and do it,’” Brad said. “It’s based on our shared interest in music and people coming together and having that wonderful, positive experience.”

The property the Goldmans purchased to build the night club was constructed in the 1930s and had previously been used as condominiums, hotels, and several different restaurants. Brad and Jeana knew that PLATFORM’s restroom fixtures would need to accommodate a much higher volume of patrons than the venue had been accustomed to, so they chose Sloan products – including AER-DEC® sinks, urinals, water closets, and flushometers – for their innovative hands-free technology, ease of maintenance, aesthetic benefits, and more.

Hands in the AER-DEC

To bring the club’s sleek aesthetic into the restroom, PLATFORM specified Sloan’s futuristic AER-DEC 83000 Sinks. Not only do these sinks contribute toward a more hygienic restroom, but they also represent the sustainable restroom design of tomorrow. All components of the sink – soap dispenser, faucet, hand dryer, and sink basin – work together as one highly efficient system. AER-DEC sinks feature built-in air dam technology that eliminates backsplash and updrafts. They also save water, reduce energy consumption, and eliminate the need for paper towels, simplifying the handwashing experience for PLATFORM’s patrons every night.

Making Maintenance Easy

Maintenance is a critical factor to consider before specifying products for any public restroom, but when it comes to a night club, it takes on added importance. The Goldmans said that Sloan’s AER-DEC sinks, along with touch-free SU-1009 Urinals with ECOS® 186 Flushometers and ST-2029 Floor-mounted ADA Water Closets with ECOS 111 Flushometers, help simplify the facility maintenance process. “Lots of people are coming through the restrooms during those peak hours, and you only have so much staff to deal with so many things,” Brad said. “Paper towels run out, the restrooms get cluttered, garbage cans start to overflow with paper towels. With the Sloan products, the environment stays clean and neat throughout the entire night, no matter how busy we get.”

Creating a ‘Wow’ Factor

What is a night club without exceptional aesthetics? PLATFORM knows that it needs to cultivate a unique atmosphere for its customers, from the bar to the sound system to the dance floor. And the restroom is a critical part of that. “The Sloan products fit right in with our total concept and aesthetic,” Jeana said. “When it comes to a night club, it’s important to have a gorgeous bathroom. People don’t forget what a bathroom looks like. Thanks to Sloan products, our restroom has a major ‘wow’ factor.” To enhance the restroom aesthetic even further, PLATFORM specified Sloan’s SU-1009 Urinals and ST-2029 Floor-mounted ADA Water Closets with SloanTec® Hydrophobic Glaze – a unique, proprietary glaze that inhibits the growth of germs and bacteria, making the fixtures easier to clean and keeping them cleaner longer.
