Gender Inclusivity

We at Brandon University Residence strive for inclusion of all gender identities while remaining transparent with what we are able to offer with our current infrastructure. We recognize that gender is a spectrum and that gender terms may have different meanings to different people, so we try to use as inclusive language as possible. We believe in equitable and fair representation for Sexual Gender Diversity. Students are encouraged to speak to the Residence Manager at boothd@brandonu.ca to address any concerns or questions regarding gender inclusion in residence.

McMaster Hall – All Gender

With private and semi-private washrooms, residents of McMaster Hall have the comfort of not having to share a bathroom with their floor or wing. Residents who have a semi-private washroom share a bathroom with their neighbour. Residents can disclose on their application if they would prefer to share a washroom with someone of their own gender identity or if they are open to the possibility of sharing  a washroom with someone of any gender identity. Students who do not state a preference are defaulted to sharing a washroom of someone of the same gender identity. Most shared washrooms have one stalled toilet and one stalled shower.

For more information on the layout of McMaster Hall, contact the Residence Manager at boothd@brandonu.ca.
