Question

There is a room in the synagogue with a restroom that apparently has never been used, and it has a sink. Now they want to decommission the restroom and seal it. Can Kohanim enter this room with tefillin to wash their hands for the Priestly Blessing?

Answer

Shalom Rav

Since it was not used as a restroom, it is permitted.
