DESIGNED BY THE CITY, FOR THE CITY
Portland’s famous stand-alone bathroom, The Portland Loo®, was developed by Madden Fabrication in conjunction with the City of Portland. Free and accessible around the clock, The Portland Loo® is designed specifically to prevent problems that are commonly experienced with public toilets. The sleek and modern kiosk discourages crime with graffiti-proof wall panels and open grating. And, they’re easy to clean, with commonly used components that are easy to replace or upgrade. First installed over 10 years ago, The Portland Loo® has proven to be a durable and inexpensive solution to keep your city clean and crime-free.

THE PROOF IS IN THE POTTY
Prevents Crime
The sleek and modern kiosk discourages crime with graffiti-proof wall panels and open grating that allows you to see if and how many people are inside.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
The coating on the steel wall panels makes it simple to clean with a hose, and all plumbing and building components are common and easy to replace or upgrade.
Inexpensive to Install and Run
It can be delivered on site as a complete enclosure, and requires minimal utilities that can operate on solar power or low level volt power.

The Portland Loo® is for you.

I personally have heard nothing but good things from the public about our loo after it went in, particularly related to that being a model for us going forward.
It was a big change for us to go from stick built/traditional restrooms to a Loo and there was some hesitancy initially. Low and behold, it now is just a part of our community, and the overall design, functionality and purpose of the Loo works really well for us.
Mostly what I hear about it now is when people say – we need one of those ‘here’ (pointing to somewhere else in town other than the Jay Pearson Neighborhood Park).
In fact, we hope to replace existing restrooms in 2 other parks with Loo’s hopefully in the next couple of years.
