Gender-Inclusive Housing

Linfield strives to foster inclusive and supportive living environments for everyone.

And, as with all of our housing options, gender-inclusive housing provides an atmosphere designed to cultivate academic success, cultural relevance, and a safe sense of wellbeing.

Helpful definitions:

• Gender-neutral bathroom: A private bathroom with a locking outer door available in designated buildings throughout campus to be used by community members without regard to biological sex or gender identity. College-owned apartments have private gender-neutral bathrooms.
• Gender-inclusive bathroom: A common area bathroom open to all users regardless of biological sex or gender identity. Private stalls, with partitions going nearly to the floor and ceiling enclose toilets, urinals and showers with individual changing areas.

There are also single-use all-gender restrooms in several buildings across campus (including some residence halls and academic buildings).
