The Monsanto Laboratory building is one of Washington University's strangest buildings to all but the the select few graduate students and faculty members who work there on a regular basis. Large and cubic, the Department of Biology lab building contains a surprisingly large number of one-toilet bathrooms - five in total; nearly all of them are interesting in some way.

The women's one-seater next to room 321 is one of the less-odd bathrooms; it is essentially a below-average bathroom (though not for Monsanto Laboratory, whose bathrooms are generally poor). It is extremely claustrophobic feeling - a feeling due not only to the bathrooms small size but also to its poor, weird lighting, which cast a sickly hue over the bathroom. It was fairly dirty (an aspect surprising to our reviewers, who reckon that Monsanto bathrooms cannot be too heavily trafficked), and the facilities are average for Washington University one-seaters: a manual toilet, a sink, and a manual paper towel machine.

The one distinguishing aspect of this bathroom was the issue of Plant Biotechnology Magazine that was considerately left there by a previous patron, presumably for perusal by similarly-oriented future bathroom users. Indeed, only this nice touch broke up the sterile, uncomfortable atmosphere of this generally poor one-toilet restroom.
