^ not for the guys though.

Haha that's for sure.

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.

does it work for the chix toilets

chix don't have urinals.

Judging from the way that most of the cubicles look, you wouldn't think the male toilets have any urinals either. ;D

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.
Is Baldwin Spencer the building near Union?

yes
I couldnt find it. I ended up in one of the toilets with no lights and weird screeching noises... :(

At about the 6th floor in the Medical Building, has anyone tried out those really weird hand dryers?  Like you stick your entire hands in the "thing" (how else to describe it?) and your hands are meant to dry in ten seconds.

But on the first floor of the Balileu Library in the ladies room.
It scares the fuck out of me those dryers. :( :(

I have got to try those hand dryers!

So you stick your whole hand in the dryer and it will dry your hands in 10s?

in engineering we looked at a LCA on hand dryers and hand towels! I can't remember, but, I think the hand towels were slightly better. I have always wondered why hand dryers are even used! They are great for winter but for drying hands they are useless!

Female bathroom in the basement of Union House. Fuschia walls, clean and there are several rooms you must pass through to reach the cubicles. The grey room in the middle doesn't seem to exist for a reason other than as a decompression chamber.

This was an important thread to revive from 2009. For reasons that will likely become clear to me after exam revision is over.

wtf I work my ass off to an ATAR of 92 to do BSc at UoM but finding good toilets is a struggle?

I went there for the TSFX Lectures, and I found the ones in the Medical Building, in particular, we're pretty bad. =/

Its a pretty old building though.

imo, the business and economics building near grattan street has the best and most modern bathrooms. They also have this really cool lecture theatre.

But the best toilet by far, is the one I have at home.  Home sweet home.

The basement bathroom at union house really aren't that bad anymore. No doubt FBE/Spot, Law School and Carrillo Gantner are the best though. The ones near the Copland Theatre in the Arts and Music Student Centre are pretty good too. Upstairs David Caro goes okay too, as does the bathroom near the Laby Theatre.

Worst: Old Arts and the Chemistry building. Shudder.

Can confirm Chemistry toilets as horrifying. I used the Chem bathrooms once. Once.
I got ill two days thereafter, too >___>
Copland toilets can be pretty bad, there's often no bin and just a pile of tissue papers in one corner masquerading as waste disposal, and large pools of water on the floor are fun too :'D
Babel Building has a nigh-unused disabled bathroom on the ground floor right next to the entrance which is clean and private, but it's nothing fancy.

Someone must be procrastinating hardcore to give this ancient thread a mega bump!! Go study damn it!

The Spot/FBE and Law building are the best hands down. (only problem is that they're so far away from main campus and you need to cross Grattan street -.-)
