Hi, I am working on a small project that only requires one shower, but due to space constraints, the shower and changing room have been located inside the men's bathroom facilities. Do you think we would have problems with this? The shower and changing room will be accessible to both men and women (company's policy), but this might be misinterpreted from just looking at the plan. Thanks for your help.

Alejandro, this seems problematic. How will women have access?

Thanks for your prompt response, Tristan. The shower and changing room will be available to both men and women, and a door will separate the shower and changing room from the rest of the bathroom. Do you think we could justify having a unisex changing room and shower within a men's bathroom?

It's hard for me to see how you can expect women to be comfortable walking into and through a men's bathroom to access a changing room. There may be a policy that women can access the room, but does that policy hold any weight in practice?

Well, when you put it like that... I know it is not the ideal situation. Thanks for your help. We'll try to fit in a shower in the women's bathroom.
