Legacy Charter School is a public charter school located in Greenville, South Carolina. With two campuses that support grades K5 ™ 12, it is a school climate where caring, support and high expectations are the norm. Students are encouraged to focus on academic and physical fitness in preparation for a bright future. A recent renovation of several buildings on the campus caused Barry Bowen, the school™s director of operations, to take a hard look at how to best furnish the new restroom facilities from both a cost and hygiene perspective. Legacy Charter School used paper products prior to the renovations and found it was a lot of work managing the use of paper towels from both a cost and labor perspective. Bowen, also a certified healthcare safety professional, knew the importance of providing a clean environment conducive to learning. Finding a solution that eliminated the expense, waste and labor intensity associated with the use of paper in the restrooms was a priority. The school elected to investigate the idea of installing hand dryers for the renovated areas in lieu of paper towels.

Wheaton Academy is a college preparatory, inter-denominational Christian high school founded in 1853. The Academy enrolls approximately 650 students in grades 9-12. Characterized by high academic standards and a mature student culture, the school sits on a beautiful 50-acre college-style campus with five facilities, including the Fine Arts Center and Heritage Field House. Recently during show intermissions at the Fine Arts Center, the head of the school saw students and parents waiting in line in a restroom to use old, slow hand dryers. Some frustrated restroom users would give up and leave with dripping, wet hands. The Academy decided it was time to upgrade its restroom hand dryers in three of its five facilities. One of the challenges in upgrading the hand dryers in the Fine Arts Center was to balance the need for faster, more powerful hand dryers with the necessity to keep noise to a minimum so as not to disturb the Center™s events in the nearby auditorium. Another challenge the Academy faced was the hand dryers in the Field House had to be ADA compliant.
