1. A drain assembly for installation in a modular room, the drain assembly comprising:
a drain body including an upper surface defining a top side, and a lower surface opposite the upper surface defining a bottom side, and wherein the drain body defines an aperture extending along an axis between the upper surface and the lower surface; and
an outlet including an elongated body, the elongated body removably insertable through the aperture along the axis such that the elongated body configured to extend below the lower surface of the drain body when coupled to the drain body, the outlet being configured to receive fluid flow from the drain body and direct the fluid flow away from the drain body;
a plurality of studs extending from the upper surface proximate the aperture; and
a plurality of nuts, each configured to threadably engage a corresponding stud to couple the outlet to the drain body and form a water-tight seal therebetween.
