“The room is designed with cleanliness in mind. I’ve created a very minimalist room. Everything is wiped down and cleaned before and after every person. It’s probably cleaner than the BART or any public toilet you’ve used.”
The room has no bed or bedding. Instead, there’s a custom-built metal-and-wood bench covered with vinyl, which is stain-resistant.
“Instead of a traditional bed – which is bedding and absorbent – this is a bench, in the shape of a ‘C’, and designed to facilitate positioning for the average-sized bodies,” Emerson said.
