On both sides of Interstate 25 in New Mexico, the State of New Mexico DOT purchased Romtec restroom facilities to service the Walking Sands Rest Area stops.
Romtec designed both public restrooms to match the natural wood patterns of the surrounding shade structures. These restroom facilities were installed without interfering with the signs that were already in place.
The restroom buildings feature roof extensions, wood frame privacy walls, wood columns, wood beams, cedar siding, and a metal roof.
The ability of Romtec to match structures and minimize construction costs is a real benefit to transportation departments that need to replace aging facilities. It might not be a great idea to leave an air-conditioned car in New Mexico, but these shade structures make an ideal place to stay cool and stretch your legs.
Romtec designs, supplies, and builds restroom buildings to match a specific aesthetic, meet your timeline even in tight deadlines, and design the structure to fit your needs within a certain budget. We have a team of designers who can create a custom rest stop restroom building that is affordable and minimizes construction costs.
Contact us today to see how we can help you get started on a new restroom building to support your rest area and showcase your states outdoor beauty for visitors to enjoy.
