55 sq ft bathrooms .
(OP)
Do I have to include the shower unit in to the room sq footage ? or just the actual floor area ? I have bathrooms in a university dorm that have a total sq ft of 56 sq ft including the the shower area . I remember someone stating that you don't have to include the shower at seminar i was attending a few years ago , but I can't find anything to back it up . thanks !
