Generally, rescue missions keep bathrooms clean and functional, but don’t usually rank them high on the list of priorities for design and ambiance. Shelter KC just completed a $1,500,000 renovation, which included $400,000 towards restroom renovations and upgrades. That probably sounds like a major investment, and I agree! We went from very institutional open bathroom/showers, very similar to a middle school or prison locker room. Our new bathrooms look more like a health club with tile walls, fully partitioned privacy booths for toilets and showers, and a separate changing area.
