Changeroom

Please see the talk page to discuss this. (This seems to be mostly related to the article's title) -->A changeroom (in Australia, Canada, and other areas, including some parts of the USA, and also known as a changing room, change room, lockerroom, or locker room in the United Kingdom or USA) is a place where people go to change their clothes. Usually this is for privacy so that they can be away from other people, or away from people of the other gender.

Changerooms usually either have individual changing cubicles, stalls, etc., or they have open spaces that are excluded to persons of the other gender. Sometimes washrooms are used for changing clothes, since a person can readily change in a toilet cubicle. Many changerooms include washrooms and showers. Sometimes a changeroom exists as a small portion of a washroom. For example, the men's and women's washrooms in Toronto's Dundas Square (which includes a waterplay area) each include a change area which is a blank counter space at the end of a row of sinks. In this case, the facility is primarily a washroom, and its use as a changeroom represents only about one sixth of the space, since only a small percentage of users bother to change into bathingsuits.

Larger changerooms are usually found at public beaches, or other bathing areas, where most of the space is for changing, and minimal washroom space is included. Beach-style changerooms are often large open rooms with benches around the outside, and some have no roof, providing only the minimum necessary barrier to prevent persons of the other gender from seeing in.
