As one of the busiest airports in the United States, Boston Logan International Airport plays a pivotal role in connecting Massachusetts and New England to the world. Logan Airport manages impressive passenger traffic, with over 40 airlines offering nonstop flights to more than 100 domestic and international destinations.
By specifying Sloan’s AER-DEC Integrated Sinks, Logan Airport has taken a significant step toward achieving its sustainability goals while offering high standards of hygiene and efficiency. Together, Sloan and Logan Airport are exemplifying how innovative restroom solutions can address the unique challenges of transportation hubs, ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable, and user-friendly environment for all.
"The innovative features in Sloan’s AER-DEC Integrated Sinks fit our evolving transportation facility designs to enhance the passenger experience," says Paul Berkowitz, associate vice president, architecture, AECOM.
Logan Airport’s restrooms are crucial to passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency. Faced with high passenger traffic and stringent hygiene standards, the airport needed innovative solutions to streamline the maintenance process.
Sloan’s AER-DEC Sinks provided the ideal answer through benefits such as: Integrated Design: The AER-DEC system combines soap dispensers, faucets, hand dryers and sink basins into a seamless, touch-free unit, significantly reducing the time required for cleaning and maintenance. Minimized Germ-prone Areas: The design of the AER-DEC minimizes crevices and joints where germs and bacteria can accumulate. Effortless Upkeep: With features like the easy-to-clean in-trough hidden drain, maintenance staff can quickly and efficiently manage water runoff, keeping the restrooms looking good with less effort.
Sloan’s commitment to sustainability aligns with Logan Airport’s environmental objectives. Through a series of advanced features and benefits, the AER-DEC Integrated Sinks play a critical role in this effort as well: Water Conservation: The AER-DEC Sinks feature integral basins that significantly reduce water usage. This is particularly important for an airport that handles millions of passengers.
Sensor Activation: Touch-free sensor technology ensures that water flows only when needed, eliminating waste and promoting responsible water use. Reduced Paper Towel Usage: With integrated hand dryers, the need for paper towels is eliminated, reducing waste and lowering the airport’s environmental footprint. Energy Efficiency: The AER-DEC Sinks are designed to consume less energy, contributing to the airport’s broader sustainability initiatives.
