toilet room

Where you flush

A toilet room is a room containing a toilet, typically a small space designated specifically for that fixture.

The term appears most often in building codes, accessibility requirements, and architectural contexts, where it distinguishes the space with the toilet from a full bathroom that includes bathing facilities: The toilet room must have adequate clearance for wheelchair access.
