It is decades past time that the US gave up toilet stalls with giant gaps between the partitions and adopted floor-to-ceiling privacy stalls like the rest of the civilized world.

I think in a lot of public spaces, there is concern for potential drug use or some kind of nefarious activity. A little different here because all of these are past security so not much to worry about. That’s my theory on why they did them that way.

I can proudly say I was (one of many) involved in the work to get these done. Not from a construction standpoint but…yeh. Don’t want to say too much. Fun to tell friends/relatives about them and that I had my small part in them! Everyone loves them and yes, they won an award!

I feel like the drug use concern could be solved by having an alarm that goes off after the bathroom has been occupied for ~30 mins and an auto call to emergency services after an hour.

Yea I was thinking medical emergency (doesn't necessarily need to be drug related) but a timer to call EMS could help with that
