Respect for People in the Airport

img_3542Not my typical photograph – but useful for illustrating that Respect for People can and should find its way into design in small ways. The photograph is from a restroom in the Tampa International Airport. What can be appreciated is that every sink has a dedicated paper towel dispenser.

That may not seem like a big deal, but there are enough airport restrooms in which a single dispenser serves three or four sinks – which is more than a small inconvenience when a traveler is also having to handle luggage with wet hands. Thanks, TPA, for the Respect!
