Chapter 1

Layout

• Single entrance/exit plans work satisfactorily provided the path of the users do not
cross each other and the main entrance is wide enough.

• The main entrance shall preferable have no door, and the cubicles, urinals, and mirrors
shall be away from the line of sight from the main entrace.

• Public toilets should be designed to minimize hand contact as much as possible for
hygienic reasons. Electronic products for toilets such as flush valves and faucets
require minimum maintenance and offer enhanced operations that promote sanitation
and perceived cleanliness because of hands-free operation.

OFFICE OF PLANNING AND DESIGN OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR


Page 8 of
UNIVERSITY OF THE
RESTROOM DESIGN GUIDELINES
• Location of accessible toilets should not be too remote from the main traffic area to
avoid long travel distance.

• The ratio of fittings in male and female toilets shall be 3:5, for example, 1 WC and 2
Urinals for male: 5 WCs for female.

• As much as possible, fixtures such as urinals and WCs should be fitted back-to-back
with common pipe ducts in between.

• All public toilets should be mechanically ventilated. Small public toilets should be
fitted with an exhause fan as minimum.

Chapter 2

Lighting

• Natural lightning can be used to help create a softer, friendlier environment.

• All public toilets should be provided with warm-color lighting for general lighting as
well as down lights above the wash basin/mirror. Warm color lighting aids in creating a
better ambience in the toilets, which in turn encourages more care and responsibility
from the users.

Chapter 3

Materials

• Carefully selected and durable materials to reduce the need for maintenance and
prevent misuse (vandalism).

• Applied finishes such as paint should be avoided together with any materials which
are affected by moisture or corrosion (e.g., woodchip products and ferrous metals).

• Non-slip homogeneous tiles are often selected because they are durable and are
relatively easy to clean.

• All toilets should have moisture impervious cleanable surface regardless of building
code requirements.

• If there is piping above the ceiling, suspended tiles will permit easy access for
maintenance and are more easily repaired in the event of spot damage.

• Moisture resistant gypsum ceiling board, mineral fiber board, or calcium silicate board
may be better suited for applications where access above the ceiling is not required.

Chapter 4

Urinals

• Individually wall-hung urinal units shall be at least 300mm wide and the lip of the
collection area shall project from the wall at least 300mm.

• A urinal should not be set closer than 450mm from its center to any side wall,
partition, vanity or other obstruction, or closer than 900mm center-to-center between
adjacent fixtures.

• There should be at least 900mm clearance in front of the urinal to any wall, fixture, or
door.

• Urinals should be separated by privacy panels to act as visual barrier between urinals.

• Privacy panels should not extend right down to the floor as this makes cleaning
considerably harder.

• Full length urinals should be installed to cater for children’s use.

• As a further enhancement to keep the urinal area dry, scupper drains or steel grating
over the drainage could be installed below the urinal bowls.

• Litterbins with covers operated without hand contact (e.g. foot pedal) should also be
provided for users who need to was and clean up after urinating so as to reduce
littering in urinals.

vanity, or other obstruction.

• There should be at least 900mm clearance in front of the urinal to any wall, fixture, or
door.

• The shape of WCs should be of the elongated type.

• Seats should be constructed of smooth, non-absorbent material.

• All seats should be of the hinged open front type.

• It is encouraged for WCs to be installed without the toilet lids if they do not serve any
intended purpose.

• Cubicle partitions shall be of rigid design and wall or ceiling hung, where practical,
without leg support for easy cleaning of the floor.

• A ledge or foldable shelf should be installed in the cubicles for putting personal items.

Counters

• Basins should have a minimum size of 540MM in length and 400MM in width.

• Wash basins should not be set closer than 450MM from its center to any side wall,
partition, vanity or other obstruction, or closer than 900MM center-to-center between
adjacent fixtures.

• All wash basins should be installed into lavatory counters.

• The use of flat bottom wash basin is not recommended because it does not effectively
allow dirt and debris to be washed into the drain pipes.

• Wash basins shall be on top of lavatory counters.

• For basins that are stand-alone, these shall be deep enough to prevent water
splashing out of the basins when in use.

• In food retail outlets where toilet facilities are provided, wash basins shall preferably
be outside the toilet.

• The flow rate at these basins shall be two (2) liters per minute without exceeding six (6)
liters per minute. Such flow rate will effectively allow dirt and debris to be washed into
the drain pipes.

• The wash basin designed for persons with disabilities shall have self-closing delayed-
action sensor type taps.

Installation Standards

• Surface mounting of cables should be avoided and cables should be fully concealed.

• Sharp corners or edges should be avoided.

• Access panels to pipe ducts should be located in inconspicuous areas.

• Mirrors should be flush with the wall surface.

• Sanitary and water appliances and fittings installed in public toilets shall be heavy-duty
classiciation and quality and shall be easily-cleaned.

Chapter 10

Ventilation System

• An ineffective ventilation system can make a public restroom unbearable, even if it is


well designed.

• An effective ventilation system ensures that vitiated air is quickly extracted and helps
to avoid dampness and subsequent growth of mold on floors and walls.

• Access panels to pipe ducts should be located in inconspicuous areas.

• Sanitary and water appliances and fittings installed in public toilets shall be heavy-duty
classiciation and quality and shall be easily-cleaned.

Mechanical Ventilation
• Where mechanical means are used for ventilation, there should be cross ventilation
and the air exchange rate should have a minimum of 15 air changes per hour.

• The mechanical ventilation system of exhaust fans and, where applicable, ventilation
ducts and grilles should ensure that every part of the toilet is within 3M of the fan inlet
or an intake grille measured horizontally.

• Preferably, intake grilles should also be provided at low levels near the WCs to enable
foul air to be extracted quickly before diffusing into other areas of the restroom.

• Replacement air should be supplied to the toilet to make up for the exhaust air.

• The replacement air may be taken directly from the exterior, or from adjacent spaces
that are permanently air-conditioned or naturally ventilated.

• The replacement air should preferably be discharged close to the floor level near the
wash basins to help keep the floor dry.

• Air locks should be incorporated to separate the toilet areas from food consumption
or preparation areas.

Plumbing and Sewerage


System

• All pipe works should be concealed, except for final connections to the fixtures.

• Pipe work exposed to view should be chrome-plated.

OFFICE OF PLANNING AND DESIGN OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR


Page 38 of
UNIVERSITY OF THE
RESTROOM DESIGN GUIDELINES

Chapter 12

Looscaping

• The ambience of public toilets can be enhanced further by:

• Introducing plants which can be easily maintained inside the restrooms as well as
surrounding the restrooms;

• Placing of wall pictures (made of impervious materials) and illuminated with


delicate lighting; and

• Placing of ornaments or sculptures at the dead corners of the restrooms.

OFFICE OF PLANNING AND DESIGN OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR


Page 39 of

Chapter 13

Security and Vandalism


Measures

• As a security measure, lighting should be directed at areas of concealment or


vandalism-prone areas.

• Wherever possible, surfaces of walls, lavatory counters, toilet cubicle partitions, and
other surfaces in and around public restrooms should use graffiti resistant materials,
graffiti discouraging decoration, and coloration schemes.

• Durable materials should be used to withstnad heavy usage, excessive weight, and
possible abuse.

• Piping should be concealed to protect against public contact.

• Durable materials resistant to human impact should be used for all exposed piping.

• The most effective anti-theft measure is the installation of higher partitions between
cubicles to prevent adjacent users from committing theft.

• During non-operational hours, restroom entrances and windows should be secured by


shutters, locks, or dead bolts to discourage vandalism.
