Not sure whether this is a win or a loss...

Public library with 2 1-person-at-a-time bathrooms, one for men, one for women, both(*) with a sink and both wheelchair-accessible (or intended to - I'm not an expert or even an enlightened amateur). I think that it would be possible to fit 2 AB-only bathrooms (1 for men and 1 for women) and 1 (unisex) wheelchair-accessible bathroom within the same footprint as the layout I described, and I'm curious: which layout would likely lead to less contention?

(*) Technically making an assumption there, since I checked only one, but I'm not a Fair Witness.

If you're only going to have a couple of bathrooms, and they're the type with a sink inside, why not make them both unisex?

Depending on where the building is located, some places will not approve unisex bathrooms when you are getting permits. (Yes, I know that is ridiculous but it is something I have come up against.)
