Directions: Walk into the main door of Cole, through the lobby and onto the concourse. Turn right and walk a quarter of the way around until you come to a small lobby with the entrance to the Driskell Center in it. A small hallway on the left houses a family bathroom. Go in.
REPORT CARD
Cleanliness: B-
It’s not a bathroom that gets a lot of cleaning attention, but it’s also very low-traffic. It’s average.
Odor: C+
Middling odor. Not really that terrible but if you were blind you’d still know you were in a bathroom.
Solitude: A+
Nobody comes around Cole Field House anymore, and you can lock the door behind you. You could probably run a business out of this place and not be in anyone’s way.
Lighting: B
Yellow lighting, not very bright but it will get the job done.
Facilities
Stalls: 1, motion flush
Urinals: 0
Sinks: 1, manual faucet
Notes: The facilities in Cole are massive because of its former life as the home of Maryland basketball. You could really go to any of the bathrooms to get some privacy, but this one is absolutely the most secure.
