Planned Rec Center's Universal Locker Rooms Discussed

Paul Steinbach Headshot

As parks and recreation officials in West Lafayette, Ind., ponder whether a planned rec center will become the first in the state with universal restroom facilities, signs exist of a split in opinion among residents.

WLFI asked for feedback after community members gathered this week to view layout options for locker room and restroom design in a facility set to open in 2020, following a ground-breaking this spring. On one side is Nick Schenkel, director of the West Lafayette Public Library, who attended Tuesday's meeting to get ideas for an upcoming library remodeling project. "We want to make sure our facilities reflect the needs of the community as much as we possibly can," Schenkel said, adding that he was impressed by the plans. "It's a very good concept. It's perhaps even overdue in terms of being implemented, and what a fantastic time to do it."
