An expandable lavatory (124) and an aircraft cabin (100) configuration including the same. First, second and third walls (126, 128, 130) form the lavatory interior and the third wall is repositionable to expand the lavatory interior footprint to accommodate a wheelchair (120). The third wall carries a door (138) deployable when the third wall is in the expanded configuration such that the wheelchair can access the lavatory interior via an exit pathway (108). A first door (132) positioned in the second wall provides access to the lavatory interior via a longitudinal aisle (106). In some embodiments, a wheelchair securement area is positioned longitudinally aligned with the second door, when the second door is deployed, such that wheelchair access to the lavatory is provided through second door when the lavatory is in the expanded configuration.
