“You can see enough to help prevent crime and keep the place clean.
You can see feet and determine if there is more than one person in there for crime prevention reasons. No water source inside, so they can’t bathe in there. The place to clean their hands is outside.”

The others couldn’t ensure the safety we needed.
“One of the key things in regard to downtown washroom facilities that you’re seeing throughout North America is the ability for sight lines, ensuring the safety of the people using the washroom but also ensuring that if people are inside the washroom and are unconscious, people can see into the washroom.”

“They don’t have attendants, but they’re very, very challenging to abuse, so to speak,” Lowe said. “The hand-washing station is on the outside. It has a louvered bottom, so you can see if someone is in distress or if there’s more than one person inside. It allows privacy for the user, but at the same time a little bit of surveillance from the outside.”

This is an authentic urban place and we welcome everybody here — from homeless kids to global leaders…The toilet is really located right in the heart of the square, with traffic coming and going on all sides. So the fact that it’s in such a public space I think is helpful.

“The Portland Loo, a unique, patented outdoor bathroom that inspires such worship in its fanbase you’d think that Steve Jobs himself had designed it. This adoration comes despite the fact that the 24-hour loo was built to be as inhospitable as possible. This toilet does not want to be loved, but in Portland, it is No. 1 (and, presumably, sometimes No. 2 as well).”

Bathrooms in public spaces is a necessity. Urban centers are faced with serious questions of ease of installation and use, security, durability and life cost as well as a need to select options that will age well in the public landscape. The Portland Loo hits all these points with flying colors. These guys have thought of everything…perhaps the most of which is the principle of keeping it simple. Unnecessary features always cause maintenance, customer service and cost issues. You will not find a better quality option available anywhere… period. It helps that they are also manufactured with pride right here in the NW. Go with the Portland Loo.
