Bathroom Map
Single-Occupancy All-Genders Bathrooms at Notre Dame
Free2Pee ND, a coalition of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, and Holy Cross students, recognizes that bathroom use is universal and that all people deserve equal access to bathrooms. Our commitment to universal access aligns with the tri-campus community’s responsibility to uphold the dignity of every person, regardless of ability, gender, identity, or access needs. We locate and evaluate single-occupancy all-genders bathrooms and maintain a comprehensive map of these facilities so that everyone in the tri-campus community can find the bathroom that best meets their needs.
We recommend clicking the full-screen option [ ] at the top-right corner of the map window below.
