Throne Labs, a high-tech toilet startup, is set to introduce up to ten new public restrooms across DC, revolutionizing the way we think about bathroom breaks in the capital.
As part of the DC Public Restroom Pilot Program, these state-of-the-art facilities will be freestanding and free to use, offering a much-needed amenity to residents and tourists exploring the city. Open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM until the end of September (with potential extensions), these lavatories are set to redefine public restroom standards.
The DC Council has already chosen the initial five locations, spanning from Oxon Run Park to Dupont Circle, with one more yet to be determined downtown. But the community will have a say in the remaining placements, as Throne Labs invites public input through an online form, ensuring these facilities cater to the needs of the neighborhoods they serve.
Gone are the days of dingy porta potties – inside these sleek restrooms, users will find a sanctuary of cleanliness and comfort. Equipped with touchless technology for flushing, handwashing, and door opening, as well as soothing soundscapes and vibrant wallpapers, these restrooms offer a truly elevated experience.
Already, Throne Labs has made its mark on the DC area, with existing installations at Yards Park, Fairfax, Hyattsville, and Mt. Ranier. Now, with the imminent arrival of these new facilities, DC residents can look forward to a new era of convenience and comfort in public restroom access.
So, as spring blooms in the nation's capital, keep an eye out for these cutting-edge restrooms popping up across the city. With Throne Labs leading the charge, the future of public bathroom experiences in DC has never looked brighter.
