There IS a separate Poo room: the rest rooms. If your facility is not badly designed, the counter by the sink is supposed to be wide enough to change babies. Men's room too. Older facilities often have a fold-down table for this job, with a belt to hold the kid. Taking babies to the nursing room to change a nasty diaper is inappropriate, and poses a health risk.
The bathrooms are designed to handle infectious waste.
Also, the bishop, and PFR should be on top of having the cans emptied immediately after meetings: the families with babies should be taking care of this, and the task should be rotated. Each diaper should be rolled, taped, and put in an individual bag, brought from home for the purpose.

At our building, there is no counter space available in the restroom or in the men's restroom. It is really frustrating. The only space that works for changing a diaper is in the mothers' lounge. If they ever plan to do a remodel and I hear anything about it, I will definitely put in my 2 cents for a changing area separate from the feeding area, plus a larger area to feed. It's ridiculous.
