Subject: The State of the Lavatories at the Marshak Science Building on Campus

The Marshak Science building is the destination of our most challenging and stressful courses, which is why effortless transition between classes is important.  Often times once ending a class we try to use the lavatories before our next class, however we find ourselves having to wait on a long line because one or two stalls are out of order or simply avoided, because of its unpleasantness. 

Regardless of how many lavatories are located at the Marshak Science building the issues regarding uncleanliness and out of order stalls are constant throughout most of the lavatories.  Often times garbage is left undisposed of in stalls as well as by the washing area.  We also see improper disposal of feminine products which causes buildups and leads to stalls becoming unavailable shortly after.  These issues regarding the lavatories cause longer wait times, lead to lateness to another class, and contributes to an unpleasant surrounding. 

Therefore, to correct the issues for the present and future, we must change our ineffective actions and unconcerned behaviors towards our campus and our colleagues.  By each one of us taking the time of disposing feminine products into their appropriate disposal bins located on the stall wall, while the paper towels should be disposed of in the bins located at the exit.  These actions will be able to cut down on the frequency of out of service stalls, which in turn will decrease wait time spent on a line.  This will also help keep the lavatories clean and tidy throughout the day  and it is simply common courtesy towards your fellow colleagues.  This simple act will also help maintain the City College of New York’s overall campus appearance in its beauty and standards. 

Thank you ladies for your time and efforts.  If you have any questions please contact me at student@ccny.cuny.edu, I am available Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.  I wish you the best in your all academic pursuits.
