In the early stages of construction it was believed that with twice as many bathrooms evil spirits would get lost and confused. This was later debunked by a chemical engineer Jesus Chu, whom invented an entirely new system for confusing roaming spirits called the Reinburg Effect which gave way to nuclear weapons.

Great answer. Actually, racism had something to do with it. At the time, Virginia law required that any public building have separate restrooms for whites and blacks. Although federal buildings are exempt from state and local law, the military went along with this. However, when President Roosevelt visited the construction site for a tour, and saw the 'whites only' signs, he ordered them removed.
