>   restroom
>
>If you read the Maroon late in the Autumn Quarter, you may have been aware
>of a campaign for gender neutral restrooms on the campus, specifically in
>Cobb and in Regenstein (see http://queersafecampus.uchicago.edu/ for more
>information).
>
>In an attempt to respond to students' needs, we are creating a
>gender-neutral restroom off the bookstacks on the A-level.  Ever since the
>reconfiguration, there has been only one restroom within the stacks on
>this floor and that is presently a men's room.  On the other stacks floors
>(B, 2 -- 5), there is a women's room adjacent to the men's room.
>
>Building Services staff will be installing a lockable latch on the door
>leading into the men's restroom within the A-level stacks before the end
>of the day and appropriate signage ("Gender Neutral/Family Restroom") will
>also be going up on the door sometime today or tomorrow.
>
>Over the summer, we are planning to continue the restroom renovation in
>Regenstein on floors 3, 4 and 5.  At that time, we plan to create a single
>stall restroom that would be family-friendly, available for those with
>disabilities (e.g. wheelchair accessible), as well as those who do not
>wish to use either the men's or women's restrooms that would be adjacent
>and contain multi-stalls.

>If questions, please let me know.
