A galley structure incorporating a handwashing station is disclosed. The galley structure may be a monument having a lower portion adjacent to the galley floor and an upper portion above the lower portion. A compartment set into the upper portion includes an upper surface, sidewalls, and sink pan with drain at the bottom. A faucet is set into the upper surface, oriented downward and including an aerator for aerating or misting the stream of water (from an aircraft water supply) dispensed by the faucet. The faucet may be activated by a switch directly above the compartment so that a crewmember may wash their hands under the faucet. A perforated plate set above the sink pan prevents the water from splashing out of the sink pan. The interior of the handwashing station may also provide an extension of the adjacent workdeck surface when the faucet and sink are not in use.
