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. Free menstrual products are denoted by a red pointer on the map.
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
Petch and Sedgewick A-wing renovations are now complete. Planning is underway for renovations in the Business and Economics Building (BEC).
Future projects
Buildings that lack publicly available all-gender washrooms are prioritized for retrofitted washrooms according to:
- Ease of implementation: cost, efficiency, concurrent renovations in building
- Building capacity: size and traffic
- Building prominence:
- Student-facing
- Public-facing
- Other
Buildings that currently lack publicly available all-gender washrooms will be prioritized in the following order:
- Business and Economics
- Saunders
- Elliott Lecture Wing
- Human and Social Development
- Stadium
- Graduate Students Society
- Michael Williams Building
- University Club
The priority order of buildings may be reassessed.
