However, these are not the only groups impacted by the exclusive provision of gendered spaces. As gender-neutral facilities become increasingly standardized across multiple sectors, we consider how the rising trend of universal design can be realistically adapted within post-secondary institutions. This article proposes the concept of inclusive design and provides specific recommendations to improve user experience in gendered and gender-neutral facilities alike on campus.  \nKeywords: education, post-secondary, Ontario, trans studies, architecture, universal design  \nRésumé  \nLes toilettes et les vestiaires genrés sont des lieux de tension pour de nombreux utilisateurs transgenres et/ou de genre non conforme. Cependant, ce ne sont pas les seuls groupes touchés par une offre se limitant aux espaces genrés. Alors que les installations non genrées deviennent standard dans de nombreux secteurs, nous nous demandons comment latendance croissante de la « conception universelle » peut être adaptée de manière réaliste au sein des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire. Cet article propose le concept de « conception inclusive » et fournit des recommandations pour améliorer l’expérience des utilisateurs dans les installations genrées et nongenrées sur les campus.  \nMots-clés : éducation, postsecondaire, Ontario, éudes trans, architecture, conception universelle  \nIntroduction: The Rise of Gender-Neutral Facilities and Their Practical Application  \nMost public washrooms and changerooms are designated for a single gender, namely,“men” or “women.” However, the last decade has seen a significant shift in the gendering of public spaces, with “gender-neutral” options appearing across educational institutions, government bodies, and recreational sites (Barkowsky et al., 2019; Brock University, 2019; City of Toronto, 2021; City of Vancouver, 2016; Government of Nova Scotia, 2014; Stanford University, 2017; Trans Focus Consulting, 2020; University of California San-  \nta Cruz, 2016) . The worlds of architecture and design have undergone a related shift, resulting in the rise of universal design (HCMA Architecture + Design, 2018) .  \nThis article begins by reviewing academic and trade literature on gendered washrooms and changerooms (referred together as facilities) and their accessibility to multiple and overlapping social groups, including transgender and/or gender non-conforming (TGNC) people, men, women, non-heterosexual people, and disabled people. Our review findings challenge common assumptions such as gender-neutral facilities only serving the needs of TGNC users, or that TGNC people necessarily prefer gender-neutral facilities. We also share findings from an environmental scan of multiple Ontario universities to identify the state of gen-  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 53:1 (2023)   \nder-neutral facilities in the sector. We conclude with specific recommendations for transforming universal design into what we dub inclusive design, an approach that recognizes the particularities of post-secondary campuses.  \nThe Impacts of Exclusive Gendered Facilities: Including but Not Limited to TGNC People  \nWhile gendered washrooms and changerooms are frequently sites of anxiety, harassment, and discrimination for TGNC people (Faktor, 2011; Laidlaw, 2020; Scheim et al., 2014), this section reviews academic literature on the widespread impacts of exclusive gendered facilities (washrooms or changerooms) within public institutions: either male or female, with no gender-neutral option nearby. Our review focuses on both single-user and multi-user washrooms and changerooms, and","cbCaibcuhjW62T8k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibcuhjW62T8k","pdf",373309,18,"English","# Introduction: The Rise of Gender-Neutral Facilities and Their Practical Application\n# The Impacts of Exclusive Gendered Facilities: Including but Not Limited to TGNC People","[{\"question\":\"What problem do gendered washrooms and changerooms create for TGNC users?\",\"answer\":\"They are frequently sites of anxiety, harassment, and discrimination, leading many TGNC individuals to avoid using campus facilities due to fear of harassment or being “outed”.\"},{\"question\":\"How does chronic washroom avoidance affect physical health?\",\"answer\":\"It can contribute to long-term physical health consequences, including an increased risk of urinary tract and kidney infections.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the article’s core proposal for improving campus facilities?\",\"answer\":\"It promotes inclusive design by adapting universal design principles to the particularities of post-secondary campuses, with specific recommendations for gendered and gender-neutral facilities.\"}]","Reimagined and Redesigned - Recommendations for Gender-Neutral Washrooms and Change Rooms on Campus | PDF",1792084227,45]
