Gender-inclusive restrooms on campus
MVCC has added several gender-inclusive restrooms to public campus areas in both Utica and Rome. They include:
Utica Campus
- Jorgensen Center first floor
- Academic Building second floor
- Alumni College Center first floor
- Payne Hall third floor
- All residence hall buildings
Rome Campus
- Plumley Complex room 249
All gender-inclusive facilities are noted with signage, and each is a single-stall accommodation.
These restrooms are meant to create a more inclusive and unbiased environment for our students and employees, allowing MVCC community members the freedom to use the restroom without having to identify as a specific gender and without fear of harassment. These restrooms are open to all members of our campus community and are not restricted for use of certain individuals.
There are also single-stall restrooms on campus that are identified as wheelchair-accessible. While these are open for anyone’s use as well, we do ask, to the extent possible, that they be left available for those who do need them specifically.
