All Gender Restrooms
We're excited to be the home of numerous all-gender restrooms. Student Engagement and Campus Life in Student Affairs strives to cultivate environments where all students can thrive. All-gender restrooms are another step to ensure a more inclusive campus environment and promote student well-being.
A multi-stall, all gender restroom is available on the 1st floor near the Breakzone entrances. A single stall all gender restroom is available on the second floor near the vending machines. A multi-stall, all gender restroom is located on the 3rd floor of Squires Student Center (near Brush Mountain B). For our two multi-stall locations, all gender identities are welcome in these restrooms, meaning that multiple people can be in the restroom, regardless of gender identity.
