I have not been in the UC G Pier lounge since it was converted from the Global First Lounge. There were two showers in the back opposite the entrance to the men's and women's restrooms. They would not have gained much space ripping them out. What did they do with the space?

I hope they delay it to infinity. Looks like a multi-year project that will render much of T3 unusable for a lengthy period of time. It ain't broke, don't fix it!

Or the area where the copier/Fedex drop box was/were, the work carrel nook, and office next to them on the same side of the hallway. I'm not sure existing plumbing is as much as a prequisite since the E/F concourse is on basically a pier. Access for plumbing from underneath might be pretty easy. Plus, new work is often easier/cheaper to design/build than trying to incorporate old footprints/plumbing.

I prefer them as I can stow my items in the sink area and it is very private

Probably, but I think UA taking over more of T2 was a big part of the interim plan. If they took over more gates in T2 and maybe put in a UA Club there, that would certainly make up for any construction. Let's face it, T3 is perfectly functional but way out of date, especially compared to T3-E, T2, or the new T1.
