#5 The Holy Bathrooms (JSB, Floor 1)

The inside of these bathrooms aren't exceptionally big themselves, but this definitely a small complex.  Look at this, there are 4 doors in a row with bathroom signs! Complete with Men's, Women's, handicap, and changing room. 

The bad news for users: this is the ONLY option for restrooms on the first floor of the JSB. For such a large building you'd think there'd be more than one on each floor. So what does this mean for you? Yep, busy.  These bathrooms are pretty busy. If you want to avoid the crowds there is another option on floor 2 directly above these, but those usually have a funky smell going on. 

So why are these called the Holy Bathrooms? Because they connect to the campus baptismal font.  They have been in close proximity to more spiritual experiences than probably any other bathroom on campus.  


For those who don't like to touch door handles on the way out, avoid these.  Speaking of which, are those not the weirdest handles ever?

PRANK OPPORTUNITY

There is an exposed theromstat that turns on the fans immediately. It goes to an impressive 100 degrees. Work the kniving part of your brain for a sec to know what I am thinking of doing.  

CONTEST: So what's the best bathroom prank you've done or seen done here at BYU (or anywhere)? Email responses to mazda8u@gmail.com and I will post funny answers! Best story will receive a small prize from byubathrooms.

#4 Asian Bathrooms (HBLL 4th Floor)

*UPDATE* THESE HAVE BEEN REMODELED (Possibly due to BYU Bathroom's negative review)* 

These bathrooms are right in the Asian Collection of the lib.  But don't worry, if you are not of Asian descent, you are still more than welcome to use them.
The interior designers of this bathroom most likely had a thing for yellow and it really comes out in their work.  As for the layout there is nothing really to complain about, it has ample space to handle it's usage.  If it is busy, walk about thirty more steps north on you will find another pair of restrooms by the elevators. 

Guys, they stories are true, the couches are really there! Do you want couches in your bathrooms? Girls fight to get there on time for a spot to sleep during the devotional hour, but at night this is good place to study if you want to get away. Please be aware, though, nursing mothers do exist and they should get first priority with couches. (If they don't, they might snap at you...)
Above and below are a couple maintenance issues if you are picky.  Hopefully nothing ever crawls out of that gaping hole by the sink...
This air freshener is drooling.

#3 Practice Room Bathrooms (HFAC Floor 2, D Wing)

Are you looking for some musical accompaniment to your bathroom visit?  This is place to go.  Because these restrooms are located next to many of the acting classrooms, these b'rooms have become the pace to get away to chat or practice in the bathroom acoustics for the acting students (especially for the girls, it has couches).
 The main floor of the HFAC is a bathroom desert, so these may be your closest oasis to drink from the waters of relief.  But you may want to find a alternative if you think you could be annoyed by the most likely loud chit-chat of the acting students and belting of Wicked songs. 
 This bathroom features old school faucet handles that don't shut off automatically, so careful to not to leave it dripping. *Looking for EPA endorsement*
 And if you are really looking for more of a vintage feel to your bathroom experience, these utility shelves are for you.  Follow the above instructions printed on the device and voilĂ , you have a place to put your books in the stall. 

For the guys, this bathroom features low, 'cup style' urinals.
