The restroom in the C Building could benefit from urinal dividers.

The coupe de grĂ¢ce in the Courier's guide on campus lavatories, this week we brave the men's restrooms, without the aid of all-purpose cleaning gloves.



Best Cell Phone Conversations

C Building
Third Floor
Approximate location: Next to stairwell; across from room 325
Number of urinals: 10
Number of sinks: 7
Dividers: None

Cleanliness: Given the high traffic by social science students, it's surprisingly clean. Tall ceilings provide impressive wall space that would be a graffiti artist's delight, yet the walls are tag-free and are painted a pleasant shade of light blue.

Aesthetic Appeal: This looks like a movie set from some high school theme film. There are two little storage spaces behind the urinals and stalls, where you could conceal yourself if you were playing hide-and-seek.

Visitor Traffic: The main men's restroom on the main classroom floor in PCC's main building probably makes this the busiest relief station on campus. The state-of-the-art 'entrance-only' and 'exit-only' doors streamline traffic flow. At 3 p.m. on a recent Tuesday, no one was there.

Smell: The big windows probably help to ventilate smells, so this isn't a sewer, but don't expect a daisy field, especially when everyone's dropping the kids off at the pool during the morning rush hour.

Resources: This bathroom's got plenty of paper towels and toilet seat covers for your bum.

Privacy: At the time of this visit, some guy was upset, screaming into his phone about how to operate the 'LancerLink' page of PCC's website. I guess this tells us stall #9 is the ideal place to make business calls while on a potty break. On the other hand, seven urinals, and no dividers? What gives? Good thing there's 10 toilet stalls.

PCC Opinion: The restroom made Arnold Martinez feel nostalgic. "This bathroom reminds me of senior year; lots of bad memories," the history major said.

Rating: 4/5


Flagship For Longer Stays

U Building
Top Floor
Approximate location: South end of building
Number of urinals: 2
Number of sinks: 2
Dividers: Yes

Cleanliness: Like the rest of the U Building, this washroom reflects a hospital feel. It's sterile like a quarantined biohazard area.

Visitor Traffic: Do people know about this spotless oasis? Lack of trash and immaculate toilets indicate that this bathroom gets few to no visitors.

Instead of walking across campus just cross the bridge to the V building for the T option. The screen printers and/or art students need to stop painting with their pee all over the floor and use the toilet like college students, along with hogging the paper towels for their prints instead of cleaning hands (why else would the paper towels be running out.
