Costs

Pushing the three stalls on one side of this design together so that they're next to each, will eliminate two stall walls. Based on this pricing, you would be looking at $450 savings for just the wall panels.

Edit: Hi again, sorry for the edit, and sorry if I’m being annoying for making this. I apologize if I am being annoying, obnoxious, or ruining the fun for the past couple of days when I answer, as some replies on here have been saying. I believe this subreddit is an amazing place built on an interesting idea, and following some tragic events in my life in recent years, I have been very fortunate to meet a bunch of wonderful people, questions, and great answerers in this community. To hear many attacks and allegations directed at me, especially ones I have constantly denied, to the point I possibly made this place worse on accident, is personally saddening to me. You have every right to hate on me.

You would also increase the cost of piping that in by a lot as urinals usually share the same pipe for flushing water.

The much more logical layout is with all the toilets together and all the urinals together, walls between each station, but doors only for the toilets. Exact same number of walls and doors, so equal cost for that. Same amount of privacy. Simpler plumbing and layout.

No good reason to go "every other" like that.

Plus, I like that the peeing area is a bit away from the shitting area. If I'm just in there to pee I don't want to be trapped right in the stank cloud from the hungover dude shitting his brains out in the stall.

Extra privacy

Australia typically goes a step further. Our urinals are one long sheet of stainless steel with a gutter along the bottom. One set of piping for what can fit many many men and then a few shitters over in the corner.
