Encourage and celebrate handwashing by making it public.
Hand Hygiene Beyond the Restroom
The need for hygienic solutions in both public and private spaces is a real concern. Installing hand sanitizer stations in public areas makes hygiene more accessible, but it’s a sticky solution that rarely leaves hands feeling clean. Today, we have an opportunity to rethink hand sanitation and return to the fundamentals of soap and water. Let’s celebrate and encourage handwashing by bringing it out into the open, integrating it with public spaces we engage with every day.
Sanitizing your hands upon entering office buildings and tenant spaces has become a critical aspect of a post-pandemic environment. Our research and focus groups identified that variety and choice are essential drivers for adapting this new behavior into a long-lasting habit.
Handwashing throughout the stadium promotes good hygiene in an area where large volumes of people are touching everything and spreading germs. Adding handwashing basins near concessions and throughout the concourse encourages users to stop and wash their hands without impeding traffic flow. The handwashing stations connect users with an opportunity for good hygiene when arriving or picking up food and drinks.
Few places are as bustling as an airport concourse. Offering opportunities for handwashing amid this fast-paced environment creates new moments for travelers from across the globe to feel safe and confident. Whether used by a frequent flyer or travelers stopping after security check to wash their hands, these public stations combine handwashing with helpful travel information.
The opportunity to bring handwashing outside of the restroom creates a range of fun, engaging, and teachable moments that develop healthy life-long habits. Placed along circulation paths and transition areas, these stations turn hygiene into a learning moment—integrating seamlessly into daily routines and encouraging healthy habits through interactive, educational design.
Public handwashing stations enhance entrance areas by combining accessibility, aesthetics, and connection. A centrally located double-sided station links the entry and lounge, serving both guests waiting for tables and patrons leaving the restaurant.
