“The urinal is surrounded by about 150 vertical steel green pipes that have been welded together in a curvy design that is meant to evoke the arches in Victoria’s historic buildings, [architect Matthew] Soules said.

“The pipes are spaced apart just enough to let an outsider know if the urinal is being used but still maintain privacy for the user.”
