Inclusive & Accessible Change Spaces

We respect everyone’s right to choose the change space and washroom that is appropriate for them. This reflects Toronto Metro University's commitment to create safe and accessible washroom spaces for trans and gender diverse members of our community.

In addition to our existing women’s and men’s spaces, the following options are available to members of our community:

  • Private change and/or shower stalls within gendered change rooms:
    • Women's change space: One private, lockable change space along the east wall of the change room and several private shower stalls with curtain dividers in the main shower area.
    • Men's change space: Two private change-and-shower stalls (spaces where you can change and shower in full privacy behind a locked door) at the top of the ramp between the locker and shower areas of the change room and several private shower stalls with curtain dividers in the main shower area.
  • RAC 106, All Gender Change Space: Opened in January 2026, the new all gender change space near the RAC Customer Service Centre and the existing all gender washroom includes private change stalls, a private shower-and-change stall, and washroom fixtures. In  (PDF file) keeping with best practices (external link) , users will note there are no external doors to the space, using openness to enhance safety through activity and shared monitoring. The private change and shower stalls within have full length doors for your privacy and comfort.
  • Pool Deck Change Stalls: Knowing the limitations of our current binary change rooms, private change stalls were installed on the pool deck in October 2025
  • RAC 108, Single-occupancy, universal and accessible washroom adjacent to the customer service centre at the south end of the building.
  • KHW 268, Universal, all gender change space with showers, access controlled by OneCard (all students automatically have access; members can request access via recreation@torontomu.ca.
RAC Change Room Renovations

Plans are underway to renovate the RAC change rooms. Along with modern finishes and amenities, the new design will prioritize and incorporate best practices with respect to accessibility and inclusion of trans, non-binary and gender diverse members of our community.

Scent-Free Change Rooms & Facilities

Help keep the air we share healthy and fragrance-free!

The chemicals used in scented products can make some people sick, especially those with fragrance sensitivities, asthma, allergies and other medical conditions.

As students and members who enjoy the RAC, MAC and Kerr Hall, please:

  • Do NOT wear perfume, cologne, aftershave and other fragrances
  • Use unscented personal care products in our facilities - and always
