Bathroom Fan

[jonny1982]

So the bathroom fan for a commercial building is now different then the original plan. There is a single fan that takes care of both the men's and women's room. They want it to operate so when you go in the men's room, you throw 1 switch and it turns on the lights and the fan together. And if you go in the women's room, you throw 1 switch and it turns on the lights in the women's room and the same fan as for the men's room. The way it was roughed in, there was a 12/2 mc feeding the switch in the men's and then the switch in the women's. Then out of each switch box, a 12/2 mc for the switch leg's. The walls are now finished. Does anyone know an easy way of wiring this without having to pull another cable into the switchbox's, or will I have to do some cutting and patching?

thanks

How about installing a ceiling mounted occupancy sensor in each bathroom.

What was the original plan? Not that it matters much. It sounds like the set up you have now will work just have each set of lights feed a j box that goes to the fan. Add a relay if you want.
