A number of colleges and universities are now establishing gender-neutral restrooms, by renovating existing facilities, making simple changes made to restroom signage, or both.

Gender-neutral bathrooms are commonly defined as single- or multiple-occupancy bathrooms with no gender distinctions. Such facilities are also commonly referred to as “all-gender” restrooms. There are more than 150 higher education institutions in the U.S. alone that currently offer gender neutral restroom facilities. Such restrooms are designed to welcome students of any gender and to alleviate uncomfortable situations for transgender students.
