The Astro and The Astro Amphitheater, Nebraska’s first indoor-outdoor multipurpose event venues, are premier music spaces that bring world-class entertainment to the local community. With state-of-the-art acoustics, lighting, and sound systems, the two venues offer an unforgettable experience for music lovers of all ages.

Both The Astro and The Astro Amphitheater boast spacious performance stages and comfortable seating areas. The Astro, the indoor theater, can accommodate 2,400 guests, and The Astro Amphitheater, the connecting outdoor grass amphitheater, can accommodate 5,500. With such large spaces that host thousands of people each week, the facility maintenance team at The Astro knew it needed to specify restroom products that are dependable, sustainable, and visually pleasing. Sloan proved to be the best choice for the venue’s three large male and female restrooms, eight single-person restrooms, and seven private dressing room restrooms.

Crowd-pleasing Performance

“When building a state-of-the-art venue, you want state-of-the-art products that are tried and tested over many years,” said Sean Broderick, operations manager at The Astro. Understanding that the restroom has the potential to make or break a visitor’s experience, the venues specified thoughtfully designed Sloan products that can be counted on to get the job done, starting with SloanStone® Solid Surface Gradient Sinks.

These sink systems are the ultimate high-traffic solution, as they are vandal resistant and easily serviced with easy-to-clean designs. In addition, the sinks are paired with Sloan’s Optima® EAF-350 Deck-mounted Faucets and Sloan ESD-600 Deck-mounted Soap Dispensers to provide visitors with an integrated handwashing experience. The venue also installed Sloan’s Optima EBF-85 Deck-mounted Faucets to help accommodate the high-use crowds and optimize traffic flow through the restrooms.

Standing O for Sensor Operation and Sustainability

As a forward-thinking entertainment destination, The Astro places great emphasis on the user experience and sustainability in all aspects of its operation. That’s why it specified touchless, sensor-operated faucets as well as Sloan’s CX 8198 Concealed Sensor Urinal Flushometers and CX 8158 Concealed Sensor Water Closet Flushometers. The flushometers are paired with Sloan’s Vitreous China SU-1019 Urinals and ST-2469 Water Closets to maximize sustainability potential and functionality.

Together, these products help both venues save water everyday thanks to their high-efficiency water conservation technology. “Sloan products are optimized to be sustainable and conserve water, which not only helps the environment, but water bills as well,” Broderick said.

Maintenance Made Simple

When venues routinely host thousands of fans for concerts and performances, they understand that just as many will be using the restrooms. Sloan’s collection of touch-free products make life simple for The Astro’s maintenance team by reducing the time to install, service, and maintain by 50% or more, and facility managers can easily check the status of the fixtures using the Sloan Connect® App.

Ocean View School District (OVSD) is an award-winning school district that teaches children from kindergarten through eighth grade. With an unwavering commitment to innovation, safety, and communication, OVSD sets the stage for an enriched learning experience that empowers students to become lifelong learners.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, OVSD placed an even greater emphasis on simple, sustainable, and reliable restroom products in its schools. In the spirit of the district’s commitment to innovation and safety, OVSD specified a variety of Sloan products in several of its schools. Today, students and staff are reaping the benefits of Sloan’s touch-free, hygienic fixtures every time they visit the restroom.

All Hands on AER-DEC®

A sink system that includes a soap dispenser, faucet, hand dryer, and sink basin all in one is tough to pass up, especially for restrooms in an educational setting. That’s why OVSD specified Sloan’s AER-DEC Integrated Sink Systems, which help the district’s schools save water, reduce energy consumption, and the need for paper towels. With a mixture of one-, two-, and three-station systems, the AER-DEC Sinks at OVSD are designed to work together as one beautiful, touch-free, hygienic, highly efficient system. Additionally, AER-DEC’s soap dispenser delivers a pre-measured amount of soap to reduce waste, and the hand dryers include an industry-leading electrostatic HEPA filter that removes 99.97% of dust, mold, bacteria, and airborne particles.

Simple as 1-2-3

On top of their clear sustainability benefits, OVSD chose to feature AER-DEC Sinks because of their simplicity for students and staff alike. With the soap dispenser, faucet, hand dryer, and sink basin all rolled into one, it’s a foolproof solution that makes life easy for OVSD’s maintenance team as well. “Sloan has simplified our restrooms by having all the elements of the sink in one location,” said Grant Lewandowski of the Maintenance & Operations team at OVSD. “These sink systems are helping keep water off the floor and cutting down on paper towel waste.”

A+ for Aesthetics

When specifying Sloan products for the restrooms, the cherry on top for OVSD was the inviting, yet sophisticated aesthetic the fixtures provide. Aside from the sleek AER-DEC Sink Systems, Sloan’s SU-1009 Vitreous China Washdown Urinals with Royal® 186 Urinal Flushometers are durable, hygienic products that include a vandal-resistant, stainless-steel strainer, ensuring they look good as new for the long haul. OVSD also turned to Sloan for its water closet flushometers, specifying Royal 111 Water Closet Flushometers, which not only conserve water with flush volume accuracy, but also feature a vandal-resistant stop cap ensuring durability.

With the goal of creating a workout environment where everyone feels both accepted and respected, Planet Fitness facilities are a Judgement Free Zone™. Planet Fitness in Palmdale, CA is no exception, ensuring that its facilities are both clean and welcoming.

By setting that type of lofty standard, members come to expect a clean, sophisticated look and feel across all aspects of the gym. Yet, prior to the Palmdale location’s grand opening in August of 2017, members at the previous location were experiencing excess water left on the countertops and floors from previous users. This was due to the sink being several feet away from the hand dryer – causing unnecessary water spills – in addition to shallow sink design.

After specifying Sloan’s AER-DEC® integrated sink system, not only did Planet Fitness eliminate the problem of its restrooms appearing unkempt due to excess water on countertops and floors, but also added a level of elegance to the location’s washrooms.

Sinks that Raise the Bar

An efficient sink system, the AER-DEC features a sink basin, faucet, soap dispenser and hand dryer that work together all within arm’s reach in one comprehensive design. This strategic functionality keeps water inside the integrated sink system, instead of it splashing across countertops and even onto the floor. The AER-DEC achieves this, all while featuring touch-free units to promote proper hygiene practices for Planet Fitness hand washers.

Judgement Free Fixtures

After a grueling workout, Planet Fitness users have come to expect quality restroom fixtures in the facility’s restrooms. In addition to installing AER-DEC sinks, Planet Fitness specified Sloan’s fixture combination packages for their closets and urinals. These combinations are comprised of Sloan’s durable SU-7009 small urinal and ST-2459 wall hung water closet with their top-rated Royal 186 ESS flushometers for urinals and Royal 111 ESS flushometers for water closets. By specifying these products together Planet Fitness was assured that the overall system would perform since both were designed and tested by Sloan in one convenient package.

Water Efficient Combos

Not only are these models easy to specify and order, but they also provide excellent water savings using just 0.125 gpf on the urinals and 1.28 gpf for the closets to comply with WaterSense requirements. The Royal ESS flushometers also feature no-touch flushing with Optima sensing technology for maximum hygienic benefits. An effective combination, these urinal, water closet, and flushometer products place less of a burden on the gym’s maintenance staff, while also standing up to the high volume use that comes along with the Palmdale locations 2,500 daily guests.

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.
