Entertainment

Chase Center isn’t just an arena, it’s a destination.

Officially opened on Sept. 6, 2019, the new state-of-the-art venue is a sports and entertainment hub and a beacon for the entire Bay Area. Home to one of the NBA’s most iconic franchises, the six-time NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, the arena hosts concerts and events and will boast a booming culinary and retail presence.

With a beautiful skyline overlooking the San Francisco Bay and an upscale aesthetic throughout the entire facility, Chase Center is one-of-a-kind. The 18,064-seat privately-financed arena’s design is matched only by its commitment to sustainability. Engineered to achieve LEED Gold certification, the facility has adopted numerous eco-friendly practices.

With a need for commercial restroom products that are both sustainable and eye-catching, Chase Center relied on Sloan products as part of the larger focus on a seamless, world-class fan experience for the new era of entertainment in San Francisco.

San Francisco Sustainability

Nestled in San Francisco, one of the most drought-stricken regions in the United States, Chase Center specified Sloan flushometers to help combat water shortage and recycle the earth’s most precious resource. Sloan Royal® 111-1.28 SFSM and Royal 186-0.125 SFSM Sensor Flushometers — equipped with reclaimed water features — are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions presented by reclaimed water while conserving water at the same time. Sloan flushometers are an effective complement to Sloan ST-2459 wall-hung water closets as well as SU-1009 and SU-7009 urinals in restrooms throughout all levels of the arena. These Sloan water closets and urinals are designed to withstand the wear and tear that comes with a high-traffic environment. Chase Center hosts a 41-game NBA regular season and a full slate of concerts throughout the year. Not only do these Sloan fixtures meet the high durability needs of the arena, but also the vitreous china composition presents an easy-to-clean, sleek aesthetic.

Brushed Nickel by The Bay

The state-of-the-art sports and entertainment destination needed restroom products that met its sustainability standards and created a high-end aesthetic that would leave a lasting impression on guests. The solution was Sloan’s custom Brushed Nickel finishes for EAF-250-ISM Faucets and matching ESD-2000 Soap Dispensers. When these products were specified for the entire facility, they created a unified aesthetic and added an element of comfort for the whole arena. Thanks to Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) properties of the Brushed Nickel finish, fingerprints and watermarks do not appear on the products, minimizing maintenance concerns and contributing to their aesthetic value. Sloan’s Brushed Nickel faucets and soap dispensers were paired with 2, 4, and 5-station Designer Series™ Gradient trough sinks to complement the design. These sensor-activated faucets and soap dispensers provide users a more hygienic, touch-free handwashing solution. Additionally, Sloan SF-2350 Polished Chrome faucets were paired with SS-3002 vitreous china lavatories.

Since it opened in 2021, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena has set a goal to be the most progressive, responsible, and sustainable arena in the world.

That’s why the venue—sponsored by Amazon—has joined over 375 other corporations in taking the Climate Pledge, an agreement to reach net-zero annual carbon emissions by 2040. The arena is committed to doing its part to reach this goal by creating the first International Living Future Institute-certified zero-carbon arena and becoming the first arena to announce its intention to eliminate single-use plastic.

When it comes to water conservation, the arena’s “Rain to Rink” system harvests water off its own roof, collecting it into a 15,000-gallon cistern and turning it into the greenest ice in the NHL. That’s not to mention its use of on-site retention tanks to reduce stormwater runoff and its water-saving commercial restroom products.

This is where Sloan commercial restroom fixtures are helping the facility reach its goals. With over a combined 700 water closets, urinals, flushometers, and faucets throughout the arena, Sloan is giving Climate Pledge Arena a boost with its water

Seattle Water Savings

Climate Pledge Arena specified 45 Sloan SU-7009 Washdown Urinals, along with 110 WES-1000 Water-free Urinals throughout the arena. The WES-1000 uses no water for maximum LEED credits and minimizes water and sewage costs. The washdown urinals are paired with touch-free, high-efficiency Sloan® 8186 Exposed Sensor Urinal Flushometers with a 0.125 gpf flush volume to deliver premium water savings.

Less is More

As the home of the NHL’s Seattle Kraken and the WNBA’s Seattle Storm, Climate Pledge Arena can host up to 18,300 people. With those types of crowds, even the smallest amount of water conservation per restroom fixture can go a long way. Sloan’s 329 water-saving water closets throughout the arena are making this vision a reality. These ST-2459 Vitreous China Wall-mounted Water Closets have paired with Sloan G2 8111 Exposed Sensor Flushometers, resulting in low water consumption and high efficiency.

Low-flow Faucets

Sloan’s water-efficient products at Climate Pledge Arena extend to the handwashing experience. Not only do Sloan’s Optima® EAF-350 Battery-powered Deck-mounted Faucets provide a touch-free and hygiene-friendly experience for all guests, but they deliver sustainable flow rates as low as 0.35 gallons per minute (gpm).

At Six Flags Mexico, Sloan enriches fun.

Six Flags Mexico is the most visited park in Latin America. Since opening its doors on April 14, 2000, under the name of Six Flags, the park has been renovated each year including general updates and new attractions that have positioned Six Flags as a “must visit” tourist destination in Mexico City.

The park’s main draw is the spectacular attractions that children, teens, and adults alike can enjoy. But adding to the full experience of the park are impressive features which help guests leave with a positive, lasting impression. Some of these features include sophisticated operating systems and automated products offered by international suppliers such as Sloan, whose products are present at Six Flags in Mexico City, and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor at Oaxtepec.

Maximum water savings for wellness and sustainability

At Six Flags, Sloan provided solutions not only to meet the sanitary requirements but also to help the park’s sustainability efforts related to water savings in each restroom. Sloan’s vandal-resistant TruFlush concealed sensor flushometer for urinals with 1 L per flush accomplishes all the park’s goals. The flushometer is touch-free for greater hygiene, concealed for a sleek aesthetic, and easy to maintain.

For Six Flags Mexico, the visitors, and employees are the top priority, and Sloan provides the security of touch-free restroom products so guests can feel safe while having fun in the park. Sloan’s toilet and TruFlush concealed sensor flushometer combos offer 4.8 Lpf and provide a smooth, touch-free experience.

Optimal efficiency with fast drying

Sloan’s new generation of hand dryers, the XLERATOR® EHD-501, brings power to the restrooms at Six Flags. The hand dryers’ efficient drying power also delivers lower noise levels while saving cost on supplies, as it eliminates the need for paper towels.

Opening its doors in August 2024, Intuit Dome is the state-of-the-art home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. The arena, which can host over 18,000 visitors, is redefining fans’ expectations for live experiences and changing the music and sports landscape in LA.

Built to exceed the most stringent sustainability standards, Intuit Dome is LEED Platinum certified for Building Design and Construction. With features that include a building-wide reclaimed water system and a nearly 6,000-square-foot Zero Waste Room, Intuit Dome was designed to support ongoing efforts to minimize its environmental footprint.

At the heart of Intuit Dome’s sustainable design are Sloan's durable, water-saving restroom solutions, which are playing a key role in Intuit Dome’s effort to meet and surpass California Green Building Code standards. Specifying Sloan’s innovative restroom solutions is not only helping Intuit Dome hit its sustainability targets – it’s also enhancing the visitor experience.

A Sustainable All-Star

To support Intuit Dome's sustainability goals, Sloan provided the arena with a wide variety of sensor-operated restroom products renowned for their water-saving capabilities. From Optima® EBF-415 Deck-mounted Faucets and Sloan® ESD-410 Deck-mounted Soap Dispensers to Royal® 111 and SOLIS® 8111 Exposed Sensor Water Closet Flushometers, for use with reclaimed water, Sloan is helping Intuit Dome enhance water savings by minimizing unnecessary water usage—a critical consideration, especially in drought-prone California. In fact, Sloan’s reclaimed water flushometers alone are helping Intuit Dome save thousands of gallons of water every year.

“Sloan’s low-flow fixtures were chosen intentionally,” said Frank Anderson, AVP, Senior Project Manager, AECOM. “These products support our ongoing efforts to minimize water use, helping to preserve a critical resource in our region.” Additionally, Sloan’s touchless faucets and flushometers are working to address restroom hygiene, helping reduce the spread of germs by minimizing contact with surfaces.

High Traffic = High Performance

In high-traffic environments like Intuit Dome, durability and reliability are paramount. That’s a big reason why the arena specified Sloan’s Designer Series™ Wall-mounted Weir Deck and Gradient Sinks. These sink systems are engineered to withstand frequent use, reducing maintenance costs and minimizing downtime. At the same time, Sloan’s Royal Flushometers are designed to combat the harsh conditions that reclaimed water presents. The durability of these products ensures they deliver clean, consistent performance under the demanding conditions of a bustling sports and entertainment venue. In addition, Sloan’s Optima Faucets produce minimal splashing – an important consideration for simplifying maintenance and enhancing the user experience in any commercial restroom.

Advanced Aesthetics

Intuit Dome's next-generation design aesthetic required restroom solutions that were not only functional, but also visually appealing. Featuring sleek designs and advanced technology, Sloan’s collection of restroom products seamlessly integrates into the arena’s contemporary style.

For example, Sloan’s hands-free Optima EBF-415 Faucets are equipped with Bluetooth adapters that provide a futuristic touch that resonates with facility managers and elevates the overall user experience. In addition, Sloan’s Designer Series Sinks bring a clean and modern appeal to the commercial restroom, making a lasting impression where function and style are demanded. “The reliability and reputation of Sloan were important factors, and its array of varying aesthetics gave us flexibility to meet our design vision,” Anderson said.
