The Portland Building, also called the Portland Municipal Services Building, is a 15-story municipal office complex that houses government offices for the City of Portland, Oregon. It was built in 1982 at a cost of 29 million dollars. They are now spending $195,000.00 to remodel it. Obviously, older buildings need a periodic update, so that doesn’t seem like anything unusual.
What is unusual, however, is that when it comes to the remodeling of the restrooms, no urinals will be put in the men’s rooms. All restrooms are being designed to be identical. As of now, there will still be separate men’s and women’s restrooms – well, mostly. Some will be designated co-ed so that both men and women can use the same one if they wish.
