First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lavatory and galley arrangement configured to be positioned in an aircraft, the arrangement comprising:
a structure,
a galley positioned on a first side of the structure, wherein the galley includes a galley forward wall having an outer surface,
an outboard lavatory positioned on a second side of the structure, wherein the outboard lavatory includes an outboard lavatory forward wall having an outer surface, and wherein the outboard lavatory forward wall includes an outboard lavatory door having an outer surface, and
an inboard lavatory positioned between the galley and the outboard lavatory, wherein the inboard lavatory includes an inboard lavatory forward wall having an outer surface, and wherein the inboard lavatory forward wall includes an inboard lavatory door having an outer surface,
wherein the structure includes a first divider wall separating the galley and the inboard lavatory, and a second divider wall separating the inboard lavatory and the outboard lavatory, wherein the galley forward wall, outboard lavatory forward wall and inboard lavatory forward wall form a structure forward wall, and wherein the outer surfaces of the galley forward wall, the inboard lavatory forward wall, the outboard lavatory forward wall, the inboard lavatory door and the outboard lavatory door all lie in generally the same plane.

2. The lavatory and galley arrangement of claim 1 wherein the second divider wall extends between a structure rear wall and the structure forward wall.

3. The lavatory and galley arrangement of claim 2 , wherein the first divider wall extends between the structure rear wall and the structure forward wall.
