Future of gender inclusive restrooms at Drake University: All new or remodeled buildings at Drake University incorporate a range of restrooms, including gender inclusive restrooms, to meet the needs of all individuals. Existing restrooms are being converted to gender inclusive restrooms in as many buildings as feasible. Increasing the availability of and access to gender inclusive restrooms is one way Drake University works to create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment for all Bulldogs.
If you find a single stall restroom that could be added to our map, please email the information to us at student.life@drake.edu with the subject line: Single Stall Restroom.
