Restrooms renovations are underway at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

Phase I is under construction, which is remodeling 52 public restrooms in Terminal 2, including the ticket lobbies, baggage claims and the Central Concourse.

A new pair of men’s and women’s restroom will also be constructed in the Central Concourse. The $22M project is scheduled to be completed summer 2021.

The restrooms in the Diamond Head and Ewa Concourses were renovated under separate contracts.

Design features include: • Highly visible entrance solid surface terrazzo fl ooring, eliminating the tile and grout which harbors odor and bacteria.

• Tough lavatories, with handsfree soap dispensers, water facets and hand dryers.

• Recharging eco-fl ush water closest and faucet technology

• Larger and wider stalls for ease of maneuverability with luggage. • Higher stall partitions that extend lower to the fl oor for added privacy.

• Improved airfl ow and ventilation.

Design for Phase II will commence shortly, to renovate 18 public restrooms in Terminal 1.
