I worked in a building on the Mountain View campus where they brought in porta-potties to "solve" the bathroom problem. (They were very nice porta-potties, but still...)
For anyone who's curious, OSHA does require a minimum number of toilets per male or female employee (https://www.osha.gov/restrooms-sanitation https://www.osha.gov/restrooms-sanitation), and the law doesn't permit co-ed restrooms unless the stall dividers and doors go from floor to ceiling. Office buildings are generally designed around a 50/50 male/female ratio, and when the ratio gets way off, you can wind up not having enough restrooms for one or the other, despite being well within the total design occupancy limit.
