The first phase of an ongoing Guelph Lab project has just been published on the City of Guelph website! The Access to Public Washrooms in Guelph Project, a collaboration between the City of Guelph, the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics (U of G), and the Guelph Lab, is working to identify ways to improve access to public washrooms in the City of Guelph. The now-published Maps Report showcases what type of washrooms are available and when washrooms are available at different times of year, different times of day, and different days of the week.
Community-engaged research bridges the gap between community and university and can have significant benefits for community partners and students alike.
