New office space - unisex toilets

[Redruns]

I am charged with finding new space for the small organisation I work for. We need to stay in the trendy part of London we currently work in/for (our building is being demolished) and cost will be a big factor in the search. I've seen some truly awful places and only really one that meets requirements.

It's a social conscience type organisation, lovely building which seems well run, all the facilities we need and more....but all the toilets are unisex. Proper individual cubicles with floor to ceiling partitions and sinks in the cubicles, but seeing men and women going into the same "room" (ie there's still a toilet block off the corridor from which you access all the cubicles iyswim) made me feel uncomfortable.

Something you'd get used to?

Where I used to work we only had one toilet, so it was used by everyone and there were never any issues.

We didn't have a cleaner though and were expected to do it all ourselves which probably made a difference.

On 2nd thoughts, my only reservation would be ventilation. Assuming they don't have windows, do they have extractor fans or any vents? Completely closed toilets can get pretty unpleasant if the door is never left open between visits.

Actually this is the reason I've stopped using the closer unisex toilets in my office.

Door very easy to lock, but i twice walked in on a man using them. Don't know who was more shocked.

I'd bet my life YOU were more shocked! When I've seen men "relieving themselves", they've been VERY happy about it.
(Not including boys I babysit here - they're the opposite. They DON'T want me or their sisters watching them but ironically we often need to!)

There are lots of cases of this happening, I know it happened at an E&Y office in London.
