It's sort of the other way. Buildings in the southern US before the 1960s, besides having gendered bathrooms, also had separate bathrooms for white and black people. So 4 kinds of bathrooms. The Pentagon today is apparently a bathroom user's paradise, because it was built in the 1940s with enough bathroom capacity for all its users even having the 4 kinds of bathrooms. Then after desegregation, its bathrooms got consolidated into just 2 kinds (by gender). So it now has 2x more bathroom capacity per person than newer office buildings have.

Jeez. I always thought IBS would prevent a pentagon job, maybe the Pentagon was just designed for IBS in a way.

are you sure its 2 times the capacity per person now? Because that makes no sense. Without additional info, there should be the same amount of people using the same capacity of bathrooms now.

Just the number of bathrooms usable per person has changed, so you are more likely to have a bathroom nearby. But you don't have more room or more toilets per sé.
