(Image credit: L.A. Cicero) The project will provide private changing and shower spaces for all patrons of the facility, including minors who are prohibited from adult changing areas on campus. A new gender-neutral changing space is under construction at the Arrillaga Outdoor Education and Recreation Center (AOERC) on Santa Teresa Street. Athletics officials say the project, which will take a few more weeks to complete, is part of the university's wider efforts to create a more inclusive environment for the campus community. The new changing space is located on the lower level of the AOERC, in the spot of the former men's and women's restrooms. Both restrooms closed on Aug. 13 and are being converted into one large gender-neutral changing area.
