Hanes Center, 3rd Floor

An oasis of sorts for the late-night photo developer or print maker. The main hallway is long, stark, and provides access to a number of abandoned lecture rooms and neglected professor's offices. Resolving to relieve yourself, the surgical and infinite hallway (which may conjure images from The Shining) quickly becomes a makeshift exhibit for the dilapidated flyers and various art student propaganda reminiscent of a better time. The bathroom is small, but clean smelling. A stained, fifties-era metal and brown upholstery chair sits awkwardly under the paper towel dispenser, damp from the dripping hands that hover expectedly over it. There are two sinks, the porcelain and stainless steel scrubbed raw with Pine-Sol, hot and cold water from both. There is one stall and one urinal (the stall adjacent to the western wall). Both are clean, and the stall is sufficiently stocked. One of my favorite aspects is the toilet paper dispenser: it is located above shit level, meaning there is absolutely no premature paper scrunching that typically occurs with the lower dispensers. I have never seen another soul use this restroom. Note: if you are a female your chances of an encounter are much greater given the popularity of the art major with the female sex (especially in the areas of photography and print-making).
