All-Gender Washrooms

All-gender washrooms and inclusive signage are an important part of making our campus safe, accessible, and welcoming. The safety and comfort of trans and gender diverse people in gender-segregated spaces is an important issue.

All-gender washrooms are safe spaces where anyone, regardless of gender identity or presentation, can use the facilities, wash their hands, and check the mirror. They decrease anxiety and fear for trans and gender diverse people while using the space, as there is less chance of physical or verbal harassment or assault - a real and ongoing risk in gender-segregated areas.

In response to the needs of the campus community, 91探花 features both multi-stall and single-user all-gender washrooms. Several washrooms remain gender-specific but are inclusive for all those who identify with that gender.

91探花 will continue to identify opportunities to create all-gender washrooms, whether through the conversion of existing facilities or when designing new buildings. Signage will be placed near all-gender washrooms indicating that these spaces are inclusive and that 91探花 respects everyone's right to choose the washroom that is appropriate for them.
