A universal locker room (also known as an all-gender or gender-neutral locker room) is a facility designed to be inclusive of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or physical ability. Unlike traditional gender-segregated locker rooms, a universal room features private, fully enclosed changing stalls, showers, and toilets that open into a shared common area for lockers and sinks. This design provides a safe and comfortable space for transgender and non-binary individuals, families with children of different genders, and people with disabilities who may require assistance from a caregiver of a different gender. In 2026, these are increasingly common in universities, high-end gyms, and community centers as they prioritize individual privacy over binary segregation. The common area is generally monitored by staff or cameras to ensure safety, while the actual acts of undressing and showering are kept strictly behind private doors, offering more personal dignity than the traditional "open" locker room layout.
