Old Main Washrooms

        Avoid taking classes in Old Main to avoid trouble! That is the first thing that comes up to mind when we are choosing our classes. As human beings we need to go to the washroom several times a day, so if there are some students who have busy schedule and stuck in its classrooms, for example, the ESAL students, they will face washroom problems every day. However, the washroom in Old Main, which is a building at Thompson Rivers University, is similar to visiting a gas station washroom! If you ask some Old Mains’ students, you might find out they have same points which are; atmosphere, cleanness, and equipment.

            The most important weakness in these washrooms is the atmosphere. Have you ever think about what breathing dirty air might causes? Unfortunately, it causes some infections, which lead to sires discuses! For example, if you go to up stir washrooms, you will find one fan only! And that what make refreshing the air weak one fan is not enough for this big of washrooms. I know Old Main is an old building but I don’t think adding another fan will make a big problem for the university. No it will be great for students to have healthy air washrooms or at least we don’t smell that bad smell.

The second weakness point in Old Main washrooms is the cleanness. I have been waiting for the employ that cleans washrooms for two weeks to make an interview with him/her but I haven’t met him/her. I really don’t know what time he/she comes to clean them. It might be in the early in morning or in the late of evening when there is few people. But what about the most important time when just most students have had their lunches which is the busiest time for washrooms. And if the washrooms get dirty, they will be closed for next day or more. The schedule of cleaning needs to redo.

             The less important weakness in these washrooms is the equipment. I really spruced when I went to Old Main washrooms for first time. I asked me self where am I!? Am I in Canadian University? I didn’t want to see luxury washrooms but not gas station washrooms. For instance, if you take a tour between Old Main washrooms, I should see that big garbage where are a lot of tissue pieces around it, or see that beautiful arts drawing on the walls, which were made by creative people! Or…

            In short, as an international student, who pay near 7400$ per semester whatever courses I take, would ask are those kind of washrooms I would use!? I really want to ask people who take the responsibility of them to pay more attention about atmosphere, cleanness, and equipment of Old Main washrooms. And try to make the students happy to take classes at the Old Main.
