Abstract
An aircraft lavatory monument is provided that includes a first lavatory including a first door providing access to the first lavatory from an aisle of an aircraft; a second lavatory proximate the first lavatory, the second lavatory including a second door providing access to the second lavatory from the aisle of the aircraft; and a movable wall disposed between the first lavatory and the second lavatory, the movable wall including a latching mechanism positioned on an exterior edge of the movable wall and accessible from the aisle of the aircraft, where the latching mechanism, responsive to being in a locked position, causes the movable wall to be positioned at a first position separating the first lavatory from the second lavatory and providing privacy therebetween, and where the latching mechanism, responsive to being in an unlocked position, allows the movable wall to collapse thereby forming an enlarged bathroom space.
