| #16 Electrical panels are also allowed in residential bathrooms if they were installed in the residence prior to implementation of the 1993 National Electrical Code. Any structural modifications to the space after that time usually requires the panel(s) to be relocated. |

| #15 I do stand corrected if these are not in the Dorms. NEC 240.24(E) "In dwelling units, dormitories and guest rooms or guest suites of hotels and motels, overcurrent devices, other than supplementary overcurrent protection, shall not be located in bathrooms." (which these would become with the addition of a Foot Washing station). |

| #12 "but isn't that electrical panel damn close to the urinal?" Yup, especially since it is a 'Public Space' now. Looks like they even moved the panel over a bit too, based on the 'creative' wall raceway configuration. Maybe the local inspector gave them a variance (if he/she was even called). Probably just a 'repurposed' janitor's closet. In those you can have the panel somewhat close to a slop sink as access is restricted to 'qualified personnel' (supposedly). |

| #11 I assume since religious accommodation is permissible that a holy water basin for Christians and a small sacrificial altar for wiccans is also being built? Otherwise, lawfare the school for religious persecution until they pony up serious bucks. This is utter appeasement. I call BS! |

| #9 Regarding #2 I'm not up on my commercial electrical code but isn't that electrical panel damn close to the urinal? Upon reflection, maybe that's a feature, not a bug. |

| #8 A friend worked at a company that employed a sizable Somali group. When he objected to entering the locker room to find his coworkers washing their feet and genitals in the sinks the company came up a creative solution. In consultation with the local Imam it was decided to construct washing stations. Oh, and of course, mandatory diversity classes for the infidels. |

| #7 I thought they already had one in each stall. |

| #6 I believe the hadiths accessory to the Koran piously tell us that infidels must use the oil of their noses, not their tongues. Tongues are not considered Halal. "Oeil de la Nez", as the French say. |

| #5 How long before non-Muslim students are required to wash the Muslims' feet? With their tongues? |
