Modular lavatory accessible to passengers of reduced mobility (PRM)

1. An aircraft lavatory complex, comprising:

a forward wall configured for facing a passenger cabin of an aircraft;

a left-side door and a right-side door set into the forward wall, the left-side door adjacent to the right-side door, the left-side door and the right-side door configured to open in opposing directions;

a left-side lavatory unit accessible via the left-side door and a right-side lavatory unit accessible via the right-side door;

and

a partition repositionable between a default position and at least one deployed position and held in the default position by at least one left-side latch and at least one right-side latch coupling the partition to the lavatory complex, the partition configured for:

separating the left-side lavatory unit and the right-side lavatory unit when in the default position;

and

enlarging one of the left-side lavatory unit and the right-side lavatory unit when in the deployed position;

the at least one left-side latch configured to be operated from the left-side lavatory unit and not extending through the partition into the right-side lavatory unit, and the at least one right-side latch configured to be operated from the right-side lavatory unit and not extending through the partition into the left-side lavatory unit, to reposition the partition between the default position and the deployed position.

2. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 1 , wherein the lavatory complex is couplable to a galley structure of the aircraft, further comprising:

a rear wall opposite the forward wall, the rear wall configured to face into the galley structure.

3. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one deployable workdeck coupled to the rear wall, the workdeck configured for deploying into a substantially horizontal position within the galley structure.

4. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one display unit set into the rear wall, the display unit including at least one of a video monitor, a flight attendant panel, and an inflight entertainment (IFE) unit.

5. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one storage bay set into the rear wall, the storage bay configured to accept a standard unit container.

6. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one trolley bay set into the rear wall, the trolley bay configured to removably secure a trolley therewithin.

7. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 1 , wherein the partition is configured for enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by obscuring a portion of the right-side lavatory unit when in the deployed position.

8. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 7 , wherein:

the right-side lavatory unit comprises a toilet and a sink;

and

the partition is configured, when in the deployed position, to obscure the toilet but not the sink.

9. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 1 , wherein the partition is configured to be temporarily removed from the aircraft lavatory complex.

10. The aircraft lavatory complex of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the at least one left-side latch and the at least one right-side latch comprises a slot, the left-side latch or right-side latch configured to be operated by the insertion of a tool into the slot to actuate the left-side or right-side latch.

11. A method for reconfiguring an aircraft lavatory complex for use by a passenger of reduced mobility (PRM), comprising:

creating an entry space by accessing a left-side lavatory unit via a left-side door and a right-side lavatory unit via a right-side door, the right-side lavatory unit directly adjacent to the left-side lavatory unit and separated from the left-side lavatory unit by a partition at least partially within the entry space;

unlatching at least one left-side latch from within the left-side lavatory unit, the at least one left-side latch coupling the partition to the left-side lavatory unit, the at least one left-side latch set into the partition but not extending through the partition to the right-side lavatory unit;

unlatching at least one right-side latch from within the right-side lavatory unit, the at least one right-side latch coupling the partition to the right-side lavatory unit, the at least one right-side latch set into the partition but not extending through the partition to the left-side lavatory unit;

and

enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by repositioning the partition.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein creating an entry space by accessing a left-side lavatory unit via a left-side door and a right-side lavatory unit via a right-side door includes:

accessing the left-side lavatory unit by opening the left-side door in a first direction;

and

accessing the right-side lavatory unit by opening the right-side door in a second direction opposite the first direction.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by repositioning the partition includes:

enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by repositioning the partition to obscure a portion of the right-side lavatory unit.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by repositioning the partition to obscure a portion of the right-side lavatory unit includes:

repositioning the partition to obscure a toilet of the right-side lavatory unit.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

unlatching at least one left-side latch from the left-side lavatory unit, the at least one left-side latch coupling the partition to the left-side lavatory unit, the at least one left-side latch set into the partition but not extending through the partition to the right-side lavatory unit, includes unlatching at least one left-side latch coupling the partition to a common floor;

and

unlatching at least one right-side latch from the right-side lavatory unit, the at least one right-side latch coupling the partition to the right-side lavatory unit, the at least one right-side latch set into the partition but not extending through the partition to the left-side lavatory unit, includes unlatching at least one right-side latch coupling the partition to the common floor.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein enlarging the left-side lavatory unit by repositioning the partition includes:

removing the partition from the aircraft lavatory complex.
