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

Current projects

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

Future projects

Buildings that lack publicly available all-gender washrooms are prioritized for retrofitted washrooms according to:

1. Ease of implementation: cost, efficiency, concurrent renovations in building
2. Building capacity: size and traffic
3. Building prominence:
   1. Student-facing
   2. Public-facing
   3. Other

Buildings that currently lack publicly available all-gender washrooms will be prioritized in the following order:

1. Elliott Lecture Wing
2. Business and Economics
3. Human and Social Development
4. Stadium
5. Graduate Students Society
6. Michael Williams Building
7. Saunders Administration Building
8. University Club
