GRAND HAVEN , MI — A $750,000 restroom facility at Grand Haven State Park earned an honor award for sustainable design from the Grand Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, according to the Grand Rapids Press.
The restroom features windows that allow lots of natural lighting, solar panels, timer-controlled showers and on-demand water heaters and is the prototype restroom facility for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the story stated.
The facility was designed by Integrated Architecture LLC, and the state plans to use the design in parks throughout Michigan, the story noted.
Architect Ryan Brouwer said: "They wanted to come up with a new, sustainable prototype. It's good to see the state thinking about these things."
