Reimagined and Redesigned: Recommendations for Gender-Neutral Washrooms and Changerooms on Campus
Markus Harwood-Jones; Lee Airton; Kel Martin
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v53 n1 p62-79 2023
Gendered washrooms and changerooms are sites of tension for many transgender and/or gender non-conforming users. However, these are not the only groups impacted by the exclusive provision of gendered spaces. As gender-neutral facilities become increasingly standardized across multiple sectors, we consider how the rising trend of "universal design" can be realistically adapted within post-secondary institutions. This article proposes the concept of "inclusive design" and provides specific recommendations to improve user experience in gendered and gender-neutral facilities alike on campus.
