DESIGNED BY THE CITY, FOR THE CITY

Portland’s famous stand-alone bathroom, The Portland Loo®, was developed by Madden Fabrication in conjunction with the City of Portland.

The sleek and modern kiosk discourages crime with graffiti-proof wall panels and open grating. And, they’re easy to clean, with commonly used components that are easy to replace or upgrade. First installed over 10 years ago, The Portland Loo® has proven to be a durable and inexpensive solution to keep your city clean and crime-free.

I personally have heard nothing but good things from the public about our loo after it went in, particularly related to that being a model for us going forward.

It was a big change for us to go from stick built/traditional restrooms to a Loo and there was some hesitancy initially. Low and behold, it now is just a part of our community, and the overall design, functionality and purpose of the Loo works really well for us.

Mostly what I hear about it now is when people say – we need one of those ‘here’ (pointing to somewhere else in town other than the Jay Pearson Neighborhood Park).

In fact, we hope to replace existing restrooms in 2 other parks with Loo’s hopefully in the next couple of years.
