These pictures bellow are examples of good restroom and locker facilities. The floors are adaptable to many sports and lockers are built out of new material that does not need as much cleaning as the ones used in the example of the bad facility. Also the new and fresh look is certainly something that can attract people and once they use the facility, they are going to come back again.

This is an example of the new simple locker room that is cost efficient but also gives a newer and better look to the rest of the facility.

Next picture is the locker room of the Bowling Green Soccer team. This locker room has been completely changed in 2009 and it is something that gives both current and future players something to be proud of.

The next picture is the example of how the new restroom should look like. Very future looking and sustainable when it comes to maintenance and cleaning.

Next picture is the example of the old looking and outdated locker room that has couple of disadvantages when compared to ones above. First the flooring is dangerous because people can slip after they shower. Second both the floor and lockers are not easy to maintain and clean. And at the end the overall look is something that is really influential, and this locker room is a negative example.
