The Old Vic Theatre

Modern and minimal Unity toilet cubicles were specified for the new washrooms at The Old Vic Theatre. Unity’s flush fronted rebated doors allow for end user privacy, while also making a big design impact in the reconfigured commercial toilet areas.

Security and safety is a high priority in busy commercial washrooms, so Unity’s emergency release indicator bolts made this toilet cubicle range a great choice for the bustling theatre’s new and improved washrooms. Safe access to locked toilet cubicles can now be gained within seconds without causing any damage.

The busy theatre needed to uphold robust security measures throughout the premises. Rapiduct’s flush panels mean the general public cannot access concealed duct space, which not only preserves pipework but also helps to keep visitors safe, as unsolicited items cannot be hidden in the voids.

The toilet cubicles and Rapiduct washroom panelling were both specified in our dark grey “Gunmetal” High Pressure Laminate (HPL). HPL is well suited for use in heavily used washroom environments such as these, while the specified colour has helped created a minimal and timeless design that’s well suited to both genders.

We’re thrilled to learn that the washroom renovation project has helped The Old Vic Theatre double its number of toilet cubicles, which is helping address the industrywide problem whereby queues for women’s toilets are significantly longer than those for men.
