    Stalls are not as efficient space, material, or queue wise compared to urinals. For those with penises and the need to pee, urinals are just better. It would be stupid to remove these.

      Not really no. Because you are now requiring two seperate bathrooms. Urinals dont really save any space, you cannot share it. So one row of lets say 12 stalls floor to ceiling are just as efficient. Only one common area open to the hall way, only one plumbing row (same a a urinal) and only one bathroom.

      This system is more effective and just works.

      Also, you add as many areas like this as the building requires.

      Do you have a urinal at home?

        Urinals can be packed far more tightly than stalls, so no they are not just as efficient. Urinals are also optimal for high traffic/volume scenarios, so having one at home is not necessary. They’re also easier to clean and maintain.

          Except they really aren’t that much tighter, nor do I want them to be. Again, you now have two bathrooms so any space savings is lost, if not worse.

          Funny to read this as I am at a facility right now with open unisex bathrooms and this is as efficient, because if more women or more men show up it doesn’t matter. The everyone in the sink space is working well too.
