Gender-Neutral Restrooms Project

About the project

The Gender-Neutral Restrooms Project is a two-phased construction project to add two gender-neutral restrooms in the Seattle Municipal Tower. One restroom will be located on the fourth floor, and the other will be on the 40th floor.

As part of this project, the recovery room on the 40th floor will be relocated to the 16th floor.

Construction schedule

To minimize impacts to City business operations, all construction work will take place outside of normal business hours (6 p.m.-6 a.m.).

Phase 1 (April to mid-May/early-June 2019)

  • Recovery room construction on Floor 16.
  • Gender-neutral restroom construction on Floor 4.

Phase 2 (mid-May/early-June to mid-July)

  • Recovery room relocates to/opens on Floor 16.
  • Gender-neutral restroom construction continues on Floor 4.
  • Gender-neutral restroom construction on Floor 40.

We expect to open both gender-neutral restroom facilities by mid-July.
