As an architect, I am aways amazed (and irritated  ) by the lack of knowledge and consideration of my colleagues. When designing a toilet for public use, it is essential that a person with clean hands be able to exit without touching a door handle.
For this reason, all toilet doors must open OUTWARDS towards the passage. I always hear the excuse that this takes up more space, but this argument is without foundation as the door can be set back a little so as not to protrude into the passage. This often creates a better screening of the toilet area from the passage anyway!

thus confirming that you are not norman foster.....the guy who designed the place where i work.
we have there TWO doors which must be pulled towards you in order to get out of the loo. no, actually three if you could the cubicle dor as well. and the loos have no windows....just 'circulating air'. where does it circulate from? the sewer?

Same here, in a brand new science lab building for an international pharmacomp, you'd think they would have more intelligence than to have two inwards opening doors.
