I'm guessing the price tag got set by the lawyer based on being low enough to not be thrown out for being frivolous, but high enough to dwarf the cost to add a female facility to the building, just to drive the point home that the school was being retarded

As for the rest of you, ever see how dirty it can get being a steam (or any other facilities for that matter) engineer? This isn't some mall job. How would you like it if you had to walk 4 blocks to the washroom from your workplace? Also, these might be 4 big blocks. For all I know she's walking from West Mall to Wesbrook for these showers. Having worked in facilities management for 4 years at UBC and other large sites, I completely sympathize (though I have never used the showers personally, boy are they disgusting :lol)

With that said though, let's see if she'll drop the case if UBC offers to build her the facilities.

hum, you are right, this isn't the 60's. Men and Women aren't so concerned about cooties anymore, and people actually *gasp* SHARE bathrooms. imagine that!

It's not bathrooms, it's showers. Kind of different.

This isn't related to the JUSTICE banner by 99 chairs today is it? I hope to god it's not.

If I remember the steam plant at UBC correctly, it was built a LONG time ago. It would cost UBC a lot to upgrade the plumbing and build new showers...$25K is peanuts. It would have cost them at least 4 times to build a new shower room.

If she wins this case, it will set a precedent in other buildings at UBC.
