From community feedback, we understand that many people in our community have experienced issues with access to available bathrooms.  In order to address this, we are installing a new all gender, multi-stall bathroom. This bathroom will be on the north side of the second floor.  The construction will include extending the length of the stall doors by adding partitions to the current doors.  This bathroom will be available for use for all students and staff at the start of Semester 2, assuming all goes as scheduled with the construction.  We look forward to expanding our building to better meet the needs of our community.
