Formed in 1988 as a response to service cuts in greater LA, Foothill Transit unites 22 member cities, operating 39 bus lines covering an area that stretches from Downtown Los Angeles to southwest San Bernardino County. Long established as a regional leader in service, safety, and clean energy, they have occupied several floors of office space in a classic mid-century building in West Covina since 2006. By 2019, it was time to update the restrooms for a more modern appearance and refreshed compliance.

On advice from their design team, Foothill specified a suite of TSL products, inducing The Ribbon Faucet and Soap Dispenser and a custom Monolith sink with a narrow basin and facing fixture placement. We also fitted pipe skirts in brushed stainless steel for a coordinating ADA compliant interface and clean, minimalist lines. The sinks were fabricated in Corian Whipped Cream, a naturalistic beige finish with subtle feathering to match the soft warmth called for in the design brief. The subtle, clean finishes of the sinks and fixtures allows the colorful elements in the wash space to pop, and leaves the impression of a welcoming, positive space. In addition to the design concerns, the fixtures operate on a sensor and are easily refilled with the tanks concealed by the pipeskirts. The staff love the effortless maintenance and space-saving layout.
