Toilets

To ensure that people who do not assign themselves to one gender or who are in a gender transition process can enter the facilities without any problems, the TU Dortmund University of Technology has developed a concept for gender-neutral toilet facilities.

  • New conception of toilet facilities
    In the process, the gender designations are first removed from all individual toilets and a symbol for "sitting toilet" or "standing toilet" is attached. In the case of new construction measures, both individual toilets are planned and multiple toilet facilities are built in such a way that the cubicles can be reached without passing through the standing toilets. In this way, the workplace ordinance, which has not yet been adapted, can be complied with and future re-declaration made possible.
