Universal Change Room FAQ's |
Have you used the Universal Changerooms at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex? Here are some FAQ’s.What Does Universal Mean? This is a fully-accessible and barrier-free space that provides dignity and privacy for all users. The universal change room, with private changing rooms, and washrooms is just that; it can be used universally by all persons, regardless of who they are or how they may identify. These spaces are inclusive of guests with disabilities, members of all gender identities, and any who wish for privacy for any number of reasons.
What has been done to ensure my privacy? Individual change stalls provide privacy and modesty for all guests. Unlike conventional change stalls, the units are designed with high partitions and no gaps between the individual panels.
What is the protocol for universal change room use? All guests are required to be clothed at all times while in the common area, including the shower of this change facility.

The CHDRC had an existing universal changeroom, and the public responses indicated that we needed an expansion of that space as it had become too small for our growing community, which led to the expanded space.
