It is no secret that the last few years have presented a number of challenges and, as we continue to return to the world, there are certainly changes that fall under the responsibility of Architecture and Design to ensure hygiene is encouraged and maintained better than before.
Bathrooms provide ultimate conditions for germs and bacteria to transfer and contaminate, especially when multiple people come into contact with the same surfaces many times a day. Ideally all Commercial Bathrooms will move towards a traditionally “low-no touch” specification as one way to mitigate potential spread of disease.
