The building replaces a toilet that was lifted off its foundations by a hurricane. The new building needed to be heavy and well anchored. Initial plans for a concrete structure were scrapped to allow local shipbuilding industry to make the building from 10 and 12 mm sheet corten steel. The facility is for summer use only and not insulated. The building is universally accessible.
