All-gender restrooms

Map of all-gender/gender-inclusive restrooms on the CU Boulder campus. As a part of CU Boulder’s IDEA plan, the campus is working to convert numerous single-stall restrooms into gender-neutral facilities that can be used by all members of the community. The map is updated when facilities are converted.

Locker rooms

All-gender locker rooms at the CU Boulder Rec Center provide privacy and help create more comfort and options for people who would prefer to be in a non gender-specific restroom or locker room.

All-gender locker rooms are on the first floor of the Rec Center in the locker room lounge, and all-gender wet locker rooms are by the pool. They feature private sinks and commodes, private showers and common-area lockers, including ADA-accessible lockers and showers.
