BTW, check out the recessed cans in the bathrooms. I relamped the ones in the two 1st floor bathrooms near the cafeteria and the 3rd floor bathroom further from the elevators (because those have short ceilings; the others have tall ceilings). The bathroom lights run 24/7 so most of the incandescent lamps I put in them have already burned out. The original lamps were all Sylvania 100W 130V silverbowl lamps. Those cans had NEVER been relamped since the place opened! Shocked So they've been burned out "forever" lol.

How old are the restrooms in here? Do they have vintage fixtures of the new low flow crud?

The bathrooms are all original to the building. The sinks are all new motion sensor things and the urinals and toilets had their flush-o-meter valves replaced with motion sensor gizmos too (which I like since I usually flush public toilets with my foot lol). The actual toilets and urinals might be old but I doubt it. The partitions are not original so my guess is at some point they did replace the toilets, urinals, and partitions. The bathrooms have never been fully renovated though. Original lighting (though T12s retrofitted to TCool and original 1" tile floor. The walls have been painted a few times (probably to cover up graffiti).

Here's one of the bathrooms before I relamped the recessed can lights. And here's the same bathroom after I relamped the cans. Unfortunately I had just used 1000HR halogen lamps so most of them are burned out only a few months later (relamped them in early November). I'll have to go back and relamp them with CFLs. CFLs will at least least a couple years running 24/7.

There's some original bathrooms at my university with the old American-Standard toilets and urinals, and vintage lights, albeit retrofitted to T8, and avocado green tile. Screams 1972 like a sunavagun!

Most of the bathrooms at my university are also original. Some still have their original 50s pastel yellow tile and vintage fixtures. The lights are mostly original too. One has stem mounted troffers which probably originally had drop dish lenses.
