Segregated Restrooms

[edit]

This line exists in the article: "The side-by-side sets of restrooms still exist, but have been integrated in practice since the building was occupied."

This hasn't been true for more than a decade now. As part of a complete renovation of the building, which began prior to the 9/11 attacks, the duplicate bathroom facilities were removed. There are no longer any vestigial segregated bathrooms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.140.32.10 (talk) 18:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]


How many offices?

[edit]

How many offices are in that gigantic building? 10,000, 20,000, 30,000? Just curious. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:E93C:B981:47CD:E24D (talk) 00:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to look search that out, (Google is your friend), and if you find an answer from a reliable source, perhaps you can add it to the article, or post it here and then request it be added it for you. Good luck - wolf 00:54, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Metonym vs Synecdoche

[edit]

The first paragraph correctly mentions that "The Pentagon" is a metonym. But should it be added (or replaced) that it's also a synecdoche (a type of metonym)?
