a nice outcome of moving

[cellio]

One nice side-effect of our office move in a few months (just down the street) is that we'll have an entire floor -- and the corresponding restrooms -- to ourselves. This presumably means an end to the stench of hairspray from the mid-afternoon shellackings that someone on our floor goes for. Eww. Those people, and the ones who marinate in perfume, really need to develop a better understanding of what ventilation systems can and can't do.

Actually, I think designers should build consideration of perfume and hairspray into the ventilation needs of women's restrooms. It's unfortunately a pretty universal problem in the US.

A robust enough ventilation system can handle it; it just costs $$$.

That would be ideal, yes. And not just for restrooms; it'd be great if the HVAC systems of public spaces like theatres could do something about the stinky person who sat down behind you. That might be hard, though.
