it cost more this way?
All the companies I worked at in Chicago prime real state I can think of had gendered bathrooms, at least monthly. Common setup was 2 stalls 2 urinals and 2 sinks for the men (and I assume either 3 or 4 stalls for the ladies, depending on how tight they packed it).
My guess it would take the same space to make 2 single use bathrooms as a single bathroom with 2 stalls / 2 urinals / 2 sinks. The throughput of a 2 stall / 2 urinal bathroom for men would be about triple the single bathroom setup, depending on your exact pee to poop ratio.
And when you are counting dollars and cents, if a decision can save you from having another 600 square feet of bathroom space (at say $300 a squarefoot a year in lease), it can add up to some decent chunk of change (at perhaps the cost of some sanity).
- kasey_junk 9y agoBy that rationale we should replace urinals with troughs & remove stall walls. The model that makes the most sense to me is unisex small single rooms surrounding a set of sinks that can be shared. As long as you have kick plates on the doors you get similar size constraints, better privacy & queueing theory kicks in.
