My first thought is to replace one of the three sinks with such a wash station. In this manner, there would be no need for running additional plumbing lines. I am also considering approaching the leaders of the Muslim community in the area to see if they could contribute funds to help complete this project.
I am very interested in what members of this forum have to say about this new development, and about my ideas. Thank you for your considerate replies.

Thank you for your research. Have you used facilities like the one pictured? If so, what was good and/or bad about the design?

Great addition to the conversation! The precarious washing in the sink does seem to be dangerous. The creative suggestions you offer seem very practical.

As long as this discussion is still open I would like to add my two cents after my wandering with the family last week!
The discussion of pros and cons to wudu in malls and hotels on the way came up and here are my findings...
I think it is a hazardous practice using public bathrooms for feet washing particularly with the ADA configuration in height and some auto faucets (It is more than home style) ... a short or old person with joint issues can slip and fall unless very careful!


Recommend Muslims be creative when going out..
1. Wudu before leaving living quarters.

2. Wear socks made of some impermeable materiel or leather and wipe over just in case.

3. If no socks use wet paper towel to wipe feet. or
4. Have  a plastic water bottle handy and rinse feet over the toilet bowl!
It better to be safe than sorry unless have a good insurance for hip procedure!

Finally with State budgetary fiasco all the rest stops were found closed and people were seen using road side for the call of nature! What a sign of great progress!LOL

Thank you for responding. It is indeed a public restroom. The mess I refer to is a direct result of the foot washing. I am not trying to be inflammatory.
The truth is nobody is perfect. The real problem is the lack of facilities in a school with a large population of Muslims. I appreciate your thoughtful advice.
