In close cooperation with the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association and the Glow Centre, the University of Waterloo is making campus more inclusive for Two-Spirit, Trans, Non-Binary and gender non-conforming members of the campus community by increasing access to all-gender washrooms. In Environment, EV1-118 and 321 have been converted to single-stall gender neutral washrooms. So have EV2-1032 and EV3 4937.
Newly converted all-gender washroom will include a sign indicating that it is a multi-stall washroom, and noting the fixtures inside (for example toilets, urinals) to allow people to select a washroom with the fixtures they’d like to use. Each washroom will also include menstrual waste disposals, sharps disposals and privacy strips on individual stall doors where needed. All-gender washrooms include options with urinals, and options without. By early May, the goal is that almost every building on campus will have an all-gender washroom available for anyone to use.
