Gender Neutral Restroom Locations
What are gender neutral restrooms?
Gender-neutral bathrooms are a benefit for a diverse demographic of our Mesa Community. They provide a safe, private facility for transgender, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people, alongside families with children, and people with disabilities who may need assistance. Single-stall restrooms also easily meet the accessibility regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They are essential to ensuring equity for our students and faculty.
