With the recent public health crisis, the shift to remote work and vacant storefronts, and the growth of delivery workers in NYC, the need for public bathrooms is more urgent than ever. Join us to delve into the history of public bathrooms in our city, understand the current system, and explore the future of public bathrooms in NYC. We’ll discuss recent bills introduced to provide an additional 3,000 public bathrooms for our city and look into different public bathroom typologies. We will start off at the David Rubenstein Atrium at 61 West 62nd Street where a public bathroom is located in the privately owned public space (POPS). We will next visit a parks public bathroom at Central Park’s Merchant’s Gate and end at a subway public bathroom at the N,Q,R, W West 57th Street Station.
