Green Technology at the Eco Restroom, Bronx Zoo

This restroom facility harnesses green technology to promote sustainability. This unconventional facility features a composting toilet system and gray water garden which bypasses the city sewer system. Our system spares the typical pollution and saves water compared to the conventional flushing system. Not only does the facility expertly handle waste, but the design also creatively reuses it: hand-washing water is recycled into an irrigation system for the surrounding landscape. Although efficient, the facility is far from utilitarian: elegant, exposed wood rafters and generous skylights span the width of the rooms to maximize daylight.
