Gender Neutral Toilets
Gender neutral toilets are bathrooms which can be used by anyone, regardless of gender.
While anyone can use a gender neutral toilet, they are particularly important for trans and non-binary students and staff who may feel uncomfortable in or unable to use gendered bathrooms.
The map below shows the locations of gender neutral toilets across the University’s campuses.
The University is actively looking to improve the provision of gender neutral toilets, particularly in areas where there is currently no or limited access to non-gendered bathrooms. In some cases, it may be possible to convert existing gendered bathrooms to gender neutral toilets. The ideal candidates for conversion are:
- Single-stall i.e. where there is only one toilet in a space rather than multiple stalls
- Not an accessible toilet i.e. a larger than usual bathroom with adaptations to make it more accessible
- In a building where there are other single-gender toilets
If you are aware of a gender neutral bathroom which is not listed on this map, believe you have found a bathroom which may be suitable for conversion to a gender neutral bathroom, or have any questions regarding gender neutral facilities on campus, please contact liberation@eusa.ed.ac.uk.
