Thank you for the post. It never fails, when you have that gut feeling, but then I am like, let me take this other path. To make the story short, I was going to assign the north restrooms to the boys and the south for the ladies and therefore having them access from the interior of their suite cluster. But I did not because I didn't want to fall under the predicament of denying both views and experiences to selected groups. With this said, I will reconfigure my restrooms to be accessed from the suites, sort of Jack-n-Jill style. This will still be one restroom for the ladies and the other for the gentlemen. It's funny you mentioned on my blog about walking at night to the restroom, it's really not that much, I think because we are older we are more concerned about this and forget that we once lived on campus and had to travel further than what's presented. Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with having to walk less, not to mention, the older we are, the less we probably want to see people in the middle of the night, in pajamas. While at Northeastern I lived at Speare Hall for nine months, and had to walk to the restrooms located in the middle of the tower, the rooms where in the perimeter of the building, it got interesting when the partying students turned the hallways into interesting walking surfaces (lots of paper,sleeping on the floor,etc..) :-)
Addressing these bathrooms was a challenge, but finally got it, I had to separate the Girls and the Boys for better privacy. It will be ladies in the south for sun exposure and gentlemen in the north for cooler weather. :-)

Eddie,
I always wonder if once experienced the mediocre, we should strive to repeat it?
Ouch!
