Fox Theatre Partners with Dyson for Sustainability Campaign

As a part of the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, a Presidential initiative to make commercial buildings 20% more energy efficient by 2020, The Fox Theatre is continually seeking new and innovative technologies to enhance guests experience while preserving the historic fabric of the theatre and conserving natural resources. As part of the energy reduction challenge, The Fox Theatre has partnered with Dyson to install the latest Dyson Airblade hand drying technology - the fastest, most hygienic way to dry hands.

The new hand dryers will have a lower impact on the environment (up to 73% less CO2 than some other hand dryers and up to 69% less than recycled paper towels) , but they also cost less up to 69% less to operate per year than other hand dryers, and up to 97% less than paper towels too.1

With air traveling at 420mph, the Dyson Airblade hand dryers scrape water from hands like a windshield wiper in 12-14 seconds. The Fox Theatre will install the latest Dyson Airblade technology, including Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryers throughout the Spanish Room Lounges, Lower Lounges.
