Gender Inclusive Bathrooms

There are a number of single-occupancy gender inclusive bathrooms throughout campus. The GSRC and the Transgender Advisory Coalition work in partnership to maintain an updated map that can be found below. This map shows all single stall bathrooms on Princeton's campus and some in the immediately surrounding area and is designed to help Princeton students, faculty, staff, and visitors looking for a private bathroom environment. On the map, colors used differentiate each type of bathroom. Orange markers indicate a gender inclusive restroom. Yellow markers indicate gender inclusive shower rooms.

Princeton University is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming educational and working environment for all members of its community. All members of the campus community and visitors are welcome to use the bathrooms and changing rooms in which they feel most comfortable and that correspond to their gender identity.

If you know of restrooms or showers that are not on the map and/or you find any of the information we report incorrect, please email gsrc@princeton.edu with an update.

Locker Rooms at Dillon Gym

Dillon Gym has six single-space occupancy shower/restrooms, a men's locker room, and a women's locker room. The women's locker room includes several private showers stalls and changing areas, but the men's locker room has no equivalent private spaces. As of December 2016, construction completed in the gym means you no longer have to enter through gendered locker rooms in order to gain access to the fitness center, pool, and other activity spaces. 

The six gender-inclusive shower/restroom/changing rooms are located on the A-level of Dillon Gym. Four are in the south corridor and two in the north corridor. These rooms are available to anyone who would like to use on a first-come first-serve basis. The rooms are all wheelchair accessible. Day-use lockers are also available for use of all patrons in the north and south corridors. 

In addition, there are two single stall restrooms with a toilet and sink on the A level, behind the weight machine areas. They offer privacy for using the restroom in the Stephens Fitness Center free weights area, but they do not have a shower or locker space. There is also a similar family restroom in the pool area that is large enough to change in and out of clothes. 

Gender Inclusive Housing

Incoming First Year Undergraduate Students Applying for Housing

There is a form all first year students will be asked to complete to apply for housing. On the form, there is a question that asks "Would you prefer to live in Gender Neutral Housing if available in your college?" Answer yes and your Director of Student Life (DSL) will work to accommodate you, seeking to match you with another incoming first year student who also selected "yes."

In addition, there is a box near the end of the survey that ask applicants to offer any additional information. This would be a good space to share more about about your housing needs (e.g., a bathroom with a lockable door, a roommate who is a man, etc.).  

All incoming students are randomly assigned to one of our six residential colleges, and the residential college staff make the room assignments. Each college has varying room configurations, so the more information you are able to provide the better they are able to place you. If you have questions or want support in reaching out to your DSL about gender-inclusive housing in your college, you can contact Eric Anglero (eanglero@princeton.edu) at the GSRC, and he will work with you and the housing and residential college staff with the placement. 

Gender-Inclusive Housing Options

Undergraduate Students: Students participating in undergraduate room draw (sophomores, juniors and seniors) may select roommate groups of their choosing. Students can choose to live in same-gender or mixed-gender housing configurations, and there is no additional stops students need to take if they want to live in mixed-gender housing configurations--you just complete the housing forms you are sent with the names of your planned roommates. Note that no student will be assigned to a mixed-gender housing group unless they have elected to do so. 

If you have an urgent or safety need for a private bathroom or single-occupancy bathroom near your room, you will be accommodated as long as you meet Housing deadlines for the pre-draw accommodation process. More information and the application form can be found here. 

Graduate Students: Graduate students may access gender-inclusive housing by specifying their desire or need on their housing form; almost all graduate housing can be mixed-gender. 

Faculty, and Staff: Faculty and staff in University housing can live with anyone regardless of gender.
