The Shedd Aquarium hosts over 2 million guests annually. In addition to its striking aquatic exhibits, the Shedd hosts a variety of events from weddings to conferences. During events, sound is an important consideration. Noise from a hand dryer in the restroom escaping into reception areas can be disturbing for guests. In fact, the Shedd had gone as far as to turn the hand dryers off in certain lobby restrooms to avoid disruptions.
To combat the issue of noisy, disruptive dryers (as well as uphold its commitment to sustainability), the Shedd Aquarium decided to partner with Dyson to install our latest Airblade™ technology. 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer and acoustically re-engineered to reduce noise, Dyson Airblade dB is an ideal solution for the Shedd’s Oceanarium lobby restrooms. The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer has allowed the Shedd to make sure that the only noise at their event is happy guests.
