The Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia opened to the public in 1993, with an expansion completed in 2011. Now, with over 1 million square feet of space and a constant flow of exhibitors and event goers, keeping the restrooms operational and up to date is key.
CWA was tasked with the redesign of 54 public restrooms constructed before the 2011 expansion. Working closely with the center’s stakeholders, two designs were developed, one for the restrooms off the exhibit halls and another for those adjacent to the seminar rooms. ADA accessibility, plumbing code compliance, and maintenance were critical issues. Initially expecting a duplication of the original design, the client was pleased with the alternatives presented by CWA – bright modern concepts that improve accessibility, function, maintenance, and identity.
Construction of the prototypes is now complete with a phased construction schedule underway for the remaining restrooms.
