Western Springs Stadium is Auckland’s largest outdoor concert venue. Just 3 kilometres from downtown Auckland, the natural amphitheatre Western Springs hosts crowds up to 55,000 for concerts, festivals and sports events.
Part of the Western Spring redevelopment included a new toilet block. MacDonald Industries technical consultants worked alongside Warren and Mahoney Architects to specify a complete bathroom solution for this project.
Good bathroom facilities at stadiums is now expected and it is vital that the correct products are selected and fit for purpose.
The design considerations for this stadium bathroom included:
- functionality during short term intensive use
- durability given periodic use
- anti-vandal features
- minimising water stagnation during non-use
- budget management

Bathrooms for public buildings have a unique set of requirements.
Unlike residential environments these bathrooms can be subject to intermittent, intensive use by a range of diverse users over short and long periods of time. Solutions need to provide robust, efficient and cost effective whole-of-life outcomes. Hydraulic design with the appropriate behind and front-of-wall fittings are vital for the long term viability of a commercial bathroom.
