Miami International Airport’s (MIA) will renovate all of its 207 public restrooms by 2030 thanks to a new re-design contract approved by the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners.
More than 30 restrooms have already been modernized in concourses D, H, and J, and 35 more in MIA’s other concourses are on schedule for renovation by the end of 2024. The remaining 141 restrooms pre- and post-security on all three levels are scheduled for completion during the third and final phase of the airport’s restroom renovation program between 2025 and 2030.
Each renovation includes interior demolition and the installation of new partition walls and flooring made of sustainable materials, improved accessibility features, vanity countertops with handles for carry-on bags, touchless plumbing fixtures that are WaterSense certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and energy-efficient lighting fixtures.
“Our restroom renovation program is one of the many ways that we are upgrading MIA for the next chapter in our role as our community’s gateway to the world,” said Ralph Cutié, MIA director and CEO. “MIA is one of the fastest-growing airports in the world, and our goal is that the quality and efficiency of our facilities match or surpass that growth.”
