(Ecns) -- The Beijing municipal government is preparing to upgrade public toilets in the city to integrate more functions.
The Beijing Environment Sanitation Engineering Group, which is responsible for the project, is collecting plans for its first model room, which will be finished by the end of this year in the suburban Fangshan District.
The company is considering the inclusion of Wi-Fi coverage, mobile and electric car charging stands, as well as ATMs and health check facilities. Meanwhile, more restrooms will be equipped with infant rooms and assistance facilities for seniors and the disabled. The company will also make public toilets a forefront for the testing of organic agricultural techniques and other green methods.
The company will stop collecting plans by November 6, and the bid result will be announced on November 16. Construction will start next year in Beijing's suburban districts and counties.
