Does UNH use hand dryers instead of paper towels in restrooms in campus buildings?
Yes. Electric hand dryers in restrooms are campus standard for new construction and renovation. Even taking the energy used into consideration they are usually more economical than paper towels and more sanitary. Unfortunately, to retrofit restrooms whose buildings are not undergoing renovation is an expensive undertaking and cannot be accomplished all at one time. However, UNH is working to escalate retrofits from paper towels to hand dryers where feasible.
