6. Issues
Top three issues reported by Clubs who
currently use paper towel:
Plumbing Issues
Vandalism
Waste
Equipment Malfunctions

7. Environmental Analysis
Political-funds for go green projects.
Economical-funding to non profits are strained due to the
current economic market. Investing current dollars in projects
that will reduce cost over a period of time are needed.
Social-implementing environmentally friendly systems into our
organization will serve as a model to our members and
visitors.
Technological-new hands drying technology has made the
machines more durable and uses less energy.

8. Vision/Mission
To provide the highest & effective quality of
service in the Boys & Girls Club restrooms
while at the same time being cost efficient.
Project Outcome/Future State

18. Assumptions
 Dryers will withstand Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta
environments and provide us a savings.
The project is considered phase one; an assumption was made that
each club had two bathrooms but in reality the Whitehead Club as
four additional unit; two are adults facility and the other set is
located in the gym with little traffic. Also one can be installed in
kitchen areas. Phase two needs to be implemented to upgrade other
areas for additional savings.
The project is just one way to reduce cost; further research needs to
be conducted to reveal additional occupancy savings in all areas of
the Club
