Nobles fell through the floor into the latrine and then into cesspit. Why they chose to put a meeting hall over the latrine is still a bit of a quandary to me.

I mean, to be fair, who would plan for the floor to collapse and move the latrine just in case.

I mean you wouldn't have to, I was thinking more constantly smelling of shit because you're sitting over it.

A disgruntled engineer may have designed it that way though.

Exactly.

I'm thinking it may be a room in a building that wasn't designed for meetings. Wouldn't it have smelt like shit anyways before collapsing?

Those times pretty much everything smelled like shit. So yes it probably did, just like everything.
