When you have to go, you have to go. It sucks when you have to go during class, but when you do you rush out of class and hope you don\u2019t miss the important stuff. Whether it be number one, number two, nosebleeds, or anything else you need to get out or put in your system, it\u2019s important to have a restroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the madness of finals week last year, I discovered a new toilet that I hadn\u2019t used before on the top floor of Crounse. So then I started thinking about toilets on campus, and haven\u2019t stopped thinking about them since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
College can’t stop people from going to the restroom, not really. So they have to have toilets all across campus, from Northside to Grant to Greek Row. First, we need to define our terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are there codes regulating bathrooms on college campuses? I unfortunately couldn\u2019t find any, but I did find a a site that lists what counts as a public restroom and the limitations of public rest rooms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Definition:<\/em> Includes all toilet facilities, whether locked or not, that are made available for general public use. Accompanying rest areas that are contiguous to a public rest room are also included as part of the toilet facility\u2019s area. For planning purposes, some may wish to provide subcategories of this space use that identifies gender- or non-gender-specific rest rooms, handicapped accessibility, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Limitations:<\/em> Similar areas that by nature of their location or their door locks are reserved for certain staff within the building should be coded as Office Service (315). The use of the subcategory Private Rest Room within the Office Service code is an option to further delineate these types of spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of hidden bathrooms, I\u2019ve found some in the most unexpected places. You can\u2019t go too far in any building on campus without running into a bathroom. If you leave the library out the back and just start walking, you\u2019ll find some restrooms for sports games (I assume that\u2019s their purpose, I genuinely have never seen them unlocked) across from Champion\u2019s Hall. There may not be any bathrooms on the fourth floor of Grant, but there is at least one on every other floor. There\u2019s honestly a bathroom on almost every floor of every building on campus, even if they are locked to the general public (thank you first floor Sutcliffe). Through a quick search on the internet though, I found something that said to keep hidden bathrooms secret, so I think I will keep the others I have discovered in my research secret. However, if you have any toilets you would like The Cento to review, then please get in touch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve also heard of two toilets broken in Freshman dorms. One of them was even turned into a car! I ran into someone fixing the toilet on the second floor of Evans, and he told me that he had been in the military, and hadn\u2019t seen any toilets broken as badly as that one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what\u2019s my favorite toilet on campus? Well, I could tell you\u2026 or I could let you figure out which ones you like for yourself! So keep going number one and number two, and find your favorite restrooms on campus!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Adam West When you have to go, you have to go.
