Gender Inclusivity on Campus

Gender Inclusive Restrooms

Using the restroom is an integral part of our everyday lives. Unfortunately, this can often be a nerve-inducing experience for gender diverse individuals. As part of the ongoing effort to promote safety and inclusion, Old Dominion University has established a number of gender-inclusive restrooms on campus. These restrooms are located in most Old Dominion University facilities, and can be found by accessing the virtual campus map (click button below and select gender-neutral restroom icon).
