First, second and third walls form the lavatory interior and the third wall is repositionable to expand the lavatory interior footprint to accommodate a wheelchair. The third wall carries a door deployable when the third wall is in the expanded configuration such that the wheelchair can access the lavatory interior via an exit pathway. A first door positioned in the second wall provides access to the lavatory interior via a longitudinal aisle.
