Several years ago, we installed automatic flushing devices on the urinals. In addition, the rest rooms, which have metal partitions, are located next to the showers. The partitions become rusty from the high humidity of the showers, and continuous painting is needed to keep them looking presentable. The use of plastic partitions would eliminate the need for repeated painting. Today's locker room is as important to the image of a university as a library.
Proper maintenance keeps that image polished and solid.
