It was a huge restroom because lots of pax were using it.
Anyway, that’s what I was told in 2014.
True it was a PAX waiting area in the mid 90's. However when they built E concourse they turned it into the CPO. The bathroom was redone after it was the CPO and the urinals appeared. Must have been some CP cousin doing the work.
