According to a press release, the new locker rooms will “reduce" the barriers to wellness for often marginalized student and campus communities including trans and non-gender binary students.” But while the move is hailed as eminently progressive, Berkeley’s foray into posh locker rooms isn’t coming cheap. Construction is projected to cost around $2.7 million—and all of that money is coming out of fees students pay for “wellness” programs on campus (those average about $150 per student per semester).
