Santa Rosa is a city of 178,000 in Sonoma County, California. That is about an hour north of San Francisco. The region is known for its wineries and natural beauty. U.S. Route 101 runs through Santa Rosa and on to San Francisco.
Some of the main attractions in Santa Rosa include the Charles M. Schulz Museum, the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County, Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, Spring Lake Park, and Trione-Annadel State Park. Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate and Gardens is also popular. This winery has wine tastings and garden tours along with games.
The Children’s Museum of Sonoma County started in 2005, educating small groups at community events.
Volunteers turned these efforts into the “Museum-on-the-Go” program, which has exhibits that are transported to events in a museum-themed van.
In more recent years, donations and public funding allowed the Children’s Museum to lease a permanent facility where this Romtec restroom building was built, near the outdoor nature education area, called Mary’s Garden.
There are now 36,000 square feet of outdoor exhibits that focus on science, art, and nature along with 7,000 square feet of interior space. Mary’s Garden programs focus on environmental sustainability, water conservation, and renewable energy.
Romtec designed the restroom building to match the aesthetics of the newly renovated museum building and to provide accessibility to children and all community members in the outdoor nature area.
The Romtec restroom provides single user ADA restrooms for men and women along with a mechanical room under a single slope roof. The building has privacy walls, metal roof, skylights, mesh gable vents, and CMU concrete block wall with siding.
The Children’s Museum of Sonoma County is a great community asset to the Santa Rosa area and this Romtec ADA restroom makes the outdoor education area more accessible for everyone. Romtec designed the building to match the other museum buildings so that they all go together seamlessly.
