Most students have their favorite floor of Alden Library; for some, it’s the fourth floor with the big booths, the third-floor CoLab with pink walls or the quiet study space on the seventh floor full of diligent students. Regardless of the seventh floor’s popularity, it is one of the library’s floors that lacks gender-inclusive bathroom options. The first and sixth floors only have a male restroom and the seventh floor only has a female restroom; all three floors have no single-use restrooms or accessible bathroom stalls. Floors two, three, four and five have both a male and female restroom, at least one single-use bathroom stall and an accessible bathroom. Not only is there a lack of equitable bathroom options in Alden, but the university’s campus buildings also indicate more male restrooms than female and unisex bathrooms.
