The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) intends to transform high-traffic public bathrooms at the Madison Public Market into memorable ‘learning lavatories’ for important water issues. And through creative design, the bathrooms will become catalysts for fostering a mindful and environmentally conscious community.
This project seeks a qualified and innovative creative individual or team to work collaboratively with stakeholders from design development to reality. The team could use any mix of art, design, interior architecture and or other creative disciplines to create visually engaging environments that go beyond functionality to:
- Cultivate a profound connection to the significance of water and individuals’ pivotal role in safeguarding this vital resource.
- Infuse an educational essence within the bathrooms, acting as a channel for thought-provoking information.
- Encourage visitors to reflect upon their relationship with water and their potential to make a positive impact.
- Introduce novelty and creativity to inspire curiosity, nurturing a desire to delve deeper into water resources.
- Encourage pro-environmental behaviors like water and energy conservation through interactive and visually compelling designs.
A total of $200,000 is available for the entirety of the project. This budget is inclusive of all associated project fees: design, travel, engineering, materials, fabrication, installation, consultant compensation, taxes, and all other associated project expenses.
