All-gender washrooms
Washrooms should be safe and accessible for everyone, regardless of your gender. All-gender washrooms are available in many buildings at UVic.

Free menstrual products (pads and tampons) are available in first-floor washrooms in many high-traffic buildings.
Improving access
We are working to improve access to safe all-gender washrooms for the UVic community. We have a plan to retrofit existing washrooms in key buildings. Plus, all new building projects include all-gender multi-stall washrooms.
Our goals
- Ensure that every building on the UVic campus has an all-gender washroom
- Increase the ratio of all-gender washrooms to single-gender washrooms in UVic buildings
Renovation & building plans

Sedgewick A-wing renovations will be completed by Fall 2023. Petch renovations will be completed by Winter 2024.
