Bathroom/Locker Room Policy 


The College strives to create and sustain a campus environment that supports and values all members of our community.  One aspect of creating a supportive environment is providing safe, accessible, and convenient restroom and locker room facilities.  Students, staff, faculty, and campus guests should use the restroom and/or locker room facilities that correspond to their sex or gender identity.  Students, staff, faculty, and campus guests may also, but are not required to, utilize single-user facilities that are designated as a restroom or gender-inclusive restroom.  As a general matter, students, staff, faculty, and campus guests should presume that an individual is using the correct facility (the one most consistent with their gender identity), if the individual is not engaged in any improper or unlawful conduct.

Locations of gender-inclusive bathrooms:
Danvers Campus
Berry Building, 136, 137, 352, 353 
Math & Science Building, 126A, 126B
