Gender neutral restrooms now available on campus

Eleven gender neutral restroom facilities are now available across CCAD’s campus. Every building on campus has at least one "all gender restroom," which is single-occupancy bathroom with a lock on the external door that indicates "occupied/unoccupied." For details about the locations of all gender restrooms on campus, click here.
 
"All gender restrooms" are for use by anyone which includes:

• People who are not women or men and/or people who are gender nonconforming
• Parents/caregivers whose children are a different gender from them
• People who desire more privacy or need more space for accessibility reasons

A huge thank you goes out to the CCAD Queer Alliance for its advocacy and commitment to envisioning a campus that is inclusive and affirming of all gender and sexual identities. Questions about all gender restrooms? Contact Student Engagement at [email protected].
