An occupancy detection system and method for a lavatory includes a door sensor operatively coupled to a door of the lavatory. The door sensor is configured to output a door sensor signal that indicates a status of the door. At least one presence sensor that is configured to output at least one presence sensor signal that indicates an occupancy status of the lavatory. An occupancy detection control unit is in communication with the door sensor and the at least one presence sensor. The occupancy detection control unit is configured to receive the door sensor signal and the presence sensor signal(s). The occupancy detection control unit is configured to determine an occupancy status of the lavatory based on the door sensor signal and the presence sensor signal(s).
