Universal Change Room FAQ's |
This is a fully-accessible and barrier-free space that provides dignity and privacy for all users. The Rec Complex's new universal change room was designed and developed in consultation with the public, and similar designs are used in many other municipalities. The concept is still new for many, and understandably will take some adjustment, however we are confident that the advantages of this design will outweigh the concerns.
What Does Universal Mean? The universal change room, with its completely private changing rooms, and wash rooms is just that - 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.
Why was this done? During the stakeholders survey conducted during the design phase, responses indicated a variety of potential needs from the community including...
The best way to accommodate all of these potential needs is to provide a single, flexible space capable of meeting many of those needs at once.
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. Can one undress in the main space? No

The creation of this change facility is aligned with the City of Pickering’s values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
