Vanderbilt University Medical Center

At Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), one of the largest academic medical centers in the Southeast, hygiene is critical. With over 2 million patient visits annually and staff operating in a high-demand environment, there’s no room for compromise. That’s why VUMC specified Sloan products to help enhance hygiene standards, improve water efficiency, and streamline maintenance.

Smart Water Management

Hospitals require water systems that are efficient and robust, and Sloan’s Optima® ETF-80 Sensor Faucets deliver that and more. These fixtures are designed to drastically reduce water usage without compromising performance. 

• Operating at just 0.5 gallons per minute (gpm), the Optima Faucets comply with ANSI national water usage standards while cutting water consumption by up to 40% compared to conventional faucets.
• Automatic shut-off reduces unnecessary water flow, making the faucets an eco-conscious choice in a facility where millions of handwashing cycles occur. 
• Through the Sloan Connect® App, VUMC’s facilities team can remotely monitor water usage and report data as needed, enabling smarter water management decisions.

Aesthetics Tailored to Modern Healthcare

VUMC aims to provide world-class care in facilities that inspire trust and comfort. Sloan’s Optima ETF-80 Sensor Faucets align with this vision, blending style with utility.

• Each faucet lends a polished aesthetic to VUMC’s public restrooms and nurses’ stations, contributing to a professional and welcoming environment.
• The seamless look of the deck-mounted faucets complements the clinical cleanliness required in a healthcare setting.

Built for High Demand

With over 24,000 employees and millions of visitors passing through its doors every year, VUMC is home to plenty of foot traffic each day. Designed for high-traffic environments, Sloan’s hardwired faucets are dependable under constant wear and tear, maintaining peak functionality.

• The underdeck Optima® Control Box significantly reduces service time, offering cutting-edge components that provide instant access to vital system data. This feature allows VUMC’s facilities staff to conduct regular check-ins efficiently. 
• With mobile integration via the Sloan Connect App, the VUMC maintenance team can adjust faucet settings, monitor performance metrics, and address potential issues before they escalate.
