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.
Haha, I noticed that too. If I'm there I use the cubicle (though I try to avoid there because of the EVIL TAPS OF DOOM).

Additions to my previous post
- Edmund reminded me of the ones next to Copland Theatre, but spray soap > bar soap.
- Old Arts was clean from what I remember
- Second floor of Baillieu Library was clean with well-sized cubicles (but there was a small hole in the divider between cubicles which made me paranoid)

Generally, I like bathrooms that have very little traffic (I hate being heard while I pee!), are clean, and paper towels are a bonus too.

Also, lol @ how we're taking this rly srsly.

Btw Redmond Barry has that old fashioned "pee on the wall". And they only have 2 cubicles. And they expect us to crowd along the wall. And pee. And some nub looks over and takes a peek at your...

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).

I think they were the worst toilets I've been to at UoM (I've only been to the Medical Building, Old Arts, Redmond Barry, Eco & Commerce).  I was thinking of the ones of the 2nd floor.  When I went there at the start of last year, there were paper towels all over the floor and not to mention the stench...

I go to the toilets at Redmond Barry almost every day of the week, and they are certifiably gross. 

The best toilets I've been in are the ones in the ICT building.  The only bad point about them is the paper-dispenser confuses the hell out of me, and I end up tearing the pieces of paper which are there.

And Richard Berry toilets are pretty alright, went in there today while I was searching for assignment boxes.

Seeing that I graduate this year I thought I'd pass on the following sage advice to others.:D 

The Baldwin Spencer toilets (upstairs and past the lecture theatre) are complete with the essentials and don't look like they haven't been cleaned for weeks.

Another update:

- Male toilet in David Caro building fulfils all your requirements

- Male toilet in electrical engineering building (next to South Lawn) are probably the best I've been to so far. Although they have no paper towels, they are among the cleanest and quietest I've used (it was at the end of a corridor of staff offices, so maybe not many students visit there). A+ would use again.

Also, it seems we've rated nearly all possible toilets. Maybe we should rank them, haha.

Are girls toilets better than boys toilets? I've always wondered this.

Ah, the mysteries of life.

If ever I have to do that host or mentor thing, a toilet tour will be in there for sure.

Is Baldwin Spencer the building near Union?
