In response to requests from students, the Center for Recreational Sports has added two private all-gender locker rooms in the Student Life Center. Our team has worked closely with the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Resource Center to make the most appropriate accommodations for our RIT community.

These spaces have been designed to provide a safe and inclusive locker area for students, faculty, staff, or alumni who identify as transgender and/or non-binary, who have or are transitioning, or simply don’t feel comfortable changing in front of other people and want to use the space for a bit more privacy.

The spaces are located within the gender-specific locker rooms in close proximity to the fitness and aquatic centers. Each locker room is restricted by swipe card access and has three showers and toilets, two sinks, and a small bench. Please watch this video on how to access the locker rooms from the SLC Quarter-Mile entrance.

The all-gender locker rooms are private and secure, only available to those with swipe card access during facility business hours. Access to the all-gender locker rooms must be requested. If you would like to request swipe card access, email the Student Life Center Main Office.
