One of the bathrooms locked by security was the gender-neutral bathroom on the G-level by the child development room. Various bathrooms are and will continued to be locked as security works to prevent overdoses and improve student safety.

Location: 100s Wing Gym Rank: #1 This bathroom has gone through a character arc. I still remember using it in my freshman year wondering as if I had just stumbled into the Ward 8 of high school restrooms. The lighting was off, the sinks were not working properly, and the soap dispensers were empty and far past their prime. However when I came back two years later I was astounded by the development that this bathroom had. It had been reformed into a respectable and usable bathroom, surpassing many of its peers. I truly believed that this bathroom was never going to amount to anything but here I was, in awe of its transformation.
