The development of this Changing Places facility is in line with Lancaster University's commitment to actively encourage and support people with disabilities to work or learn on campus. The facility is supported by a dedicated cleaning and maintenance team, and is well signposted to via physical signage in the local area, digitally on MazeMap and at Changing Places Toilets (changing-places.org). The toilet is accessible by RADAR key, which can be signed out from the Facilities Helpdesk in University House, and from the Security Lodge.
