The Portland Loo

“A team of three public restroom specialists visit the Phlushes regularly and, along with cleaning and unclogging the toilets daily (yes, daily), they also speak with people who use the bathrooms. In the course of those conversations, they’ve referred 243 people to resources for shelter, treatment, food, and clothing, and they’ve handed out 120 doses of naloxone, according to the spokesperson. These city workers aren’t just restroom specialists, they’re people specialists too, making a valuable difference in the lives of those they encounter.”

“It’s clear the Phlushes are more than just bathrooms, they’re micro-community hubs helping to save lives and combat period poverty.”

When I saw The Portland Loo in San Antonio I made a mental note of its location while shopping and dining and continued with my day knowing there was one close by. It’s a game changer.

“The problems that we have with park restrooms, (Portland) has alleviated all of those, essentially by using this ‘Portland Loo’.”

Love this public bathroom design! Complete privacy and great ventilation so it’s not smelly at all.

The Loo is such a brilliant design, and executed so well. Kudos to you all!
