Restrooms

Beginning July 8, the restrooms on the first floor are closed for expansion and renovation. There is a men's ADA-accessible restroom located on the fifth floor of the Edmon Low, and additional ADA-accessible restrooms are located in our neighboring buildings. We are eager to expand and improve our facilities. While work was scheduled during the summer to minimize the impact, it will continue into the fall semester due to the scope of the project. We recognize apologize for the inconvenience this renovation may cause.

Learn more about the status of these improvements on our construction updates page.
