Assuming an expected even number of male and female occupants and visitors on a floor of a building, what is the standard occupant to toilet ratio so that there will usually be enough toilets but not too many? Seems like the ratio should vary depending on how many people are expected to live in the building 5 days a week. So is it, like, 12 people per toilet? 20 people?

Oddly enough, I was listening to one of my husbands relatives yesterday (a fire marshal) and he mentioned that a public building (like a sports arena) is supposed to have 2 male and 2 female stalls for every 100 expected occupants.

Never heard of a standard ratio, but...
Here. Let's see what happens when you use the rule of 7.
Manager has 7 supervisors. Ea. sv has 7 subordinates. 56 + the boss. 56/2 genders = 28. 28 split in two teams is 14 (maybe u wanna switch the teams and gender splits around, but the numbers work out the same way).
My original guess was a dozen and a half, so 14 seems OK.
Ur saying 12-20, so I'd just play it safe and say 15.
