Mens and womens restroom

[muffin_99]

Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that one should not have men's and women's restroom (toilet)side by side in a company. Is it true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. Ideally, good buildings have the `water' facilities away from the offices.
Here, pumbing can be concentrated at the corner of a building i.e. the pantry area, the toilets (both male and female).
2. Since most of us are not going to spent so much time at the toilet area, the male and female toilets can still be next to each other.
Usually, the centre area or a walkway for maintenance (housing the pumbing) for both toilets) is between the male and female toilet.
3. No matter how, the above is still a better choice rather than the toilet in the middle or at one location where it does not at least share one external wall.
Here, some office main entrances may be facing these toilets. For example, I recall seeing such a building i.e. Fortune Centre building in Singapore.
This type of `configuration' is best avoided if one can.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
