The best toilets

So... which toilet is the best in the University of Melbourne?

I value:
* paper towels over hand dryers
* cleanness, but if not, funny grafiti to read
* cubicle doors that you can close without having to stand so close to the toilet that your knees practically touch them
* location

Unfortunately, it's hard to think of my favourite, so I'm going to start off by eliminating some of the worst ones that I go to (often because of location):

* The toilets outside Elizabeth Murdoch Lecture Theatre A, failing dot point 1 and 3.
* Architecture ground floor, failing dot point 1.
* Union house basement level, failing dot point 1 and 2.

Some good toilets (whitelisted):
* John Medley toilets have paper towels!
* Law has nice toilets, but unfortunately no paper towels.
* The new commerce building (The Spot) has paper towels, and is nice like the Law building toilets! IMO, this is the holy grail of toilets at Melbourne, besides its poor location.

Can't think of any more. Feel free to add your own list and whatever reasons you like.

The toilets in The Spot.
+ I can close the toilet door without my legs nearly touching the toilet itself.
+ I think they had funny instructional posters. I remember seeing a guy wash his hands, and then he took one off the wall and left with it.
- Only paper towels (yeah, they work better than dryers, but I feel kinda wasteful when I use them).

Asia Centre - The one opposite Carillo Gantner.
There's only one stall, but I like the labels on the 'dryers'.

I haven't really been to many others. I don't like the underground union house ones, and I don't like the one on the ground floor of the old Economics and Commerce Building.

Oh, was it in the Medical Building? I think there was a toilet paper holder that had 'take BA here' or something written on it.

LOL
This brings back memories of my orientation in 2008: the host leader made his own list of the best toilets at UoM and told us :P (he seemed to emphasise that the ones in the law building were the best...LOL)

I don't have a fave toilet. LOL

Upstairs in the Asia Centre fulfils all your criteria, and the taps are less evil than those outside Carrillo Gantner (i.e. they don't spray water everywhere when you put your hands under it)

Nice reason. Never really found that a problem but I noticed it at those toilets as well!

Although I've only been UoM a few times, I thought the toilets on the ground floor of the Architecture were pretty good compared to the ones in Redmond & Barry and the 2nd (or is it 3rd?) floor Medical Building.

Redmond Barry isn't disgusting is it? Although I've never tried the cubicles there. Just because it doesn't have white tiles... (just rock interior).

Handicapped toilets are always good.

One thing I just remembered: Asia Centre toilets outside Carillo Gantner has mirrors which give you line of sight of people pissing in the urinals, which is poor design. Even worse, these mirrors are viewable by anyone walking past if the door is open.
