The facilities will include modern sanitation systems, including a designated “pink chute” for menstrual hygiene disposal. The following amenities will be available on each floor:
* Launderette
* Pantry
* Janitor room
* Solid waste collection and segregation areas
Additionally, separate rooms will be allocated for mothers with children, ensuring their specific needs are met. Each room will provide approximately 90 square feet of space per occupant.
