PROJECT BACKGROUND
This project will provide design and construction administration services for the second
round of the Terminal Restroom Renovations project within the terminal facility at BHM.
Our aim is to renovate 14 restrooms (5 female, 5 male, and 4 family) in vital need of
improvement by addressing aging infrastructure and optimizing the respective layouts for
better circulation.
The goal of the project is to complete a full renovation including, but not limited to,
new flooring, vents, fixtures, stalls, and lighting to each public restroom within the
terminal facility. Each restroom will be stripped to the studs and reconstructed with
enhanced fixtures and features that meet ADA design standards and provide for an
enhanced passenger experience to the approximately 3 million passengers at BHM.
This effort will complete BAA’s mission to fully modernize all public restrooms within
the terminal, bringing them into conformity with current standards and enhancing the
experience for the flying community and their families.
Construction phase services will be tasked separately from design and will be negotiated
per FAA requirements (AC 150/5100-14E).
