Certainly the strangest bathroom in Monsanto Laboratory - a strange building named after a mysterious corporate entity - is the unspecified-gender one-seat bathroom in the basement next to room 2.
Despite the presence of a toilet, a sink, and the usual bathroom fixtures, the room's ostensible use seems to have been completely ignored, and it is now used as some sort of janitor's closet, holding two doors that seem to have been removed from a campus building (see photo), an extremely odd mechanical cleaning device (see other photo), some windowpanes (again, photo), a bunch of those chairs with the desk attached to an arm (photo), a couple of towels (described as "sketchy" by one reviewer) (another photo), and a stray mirror or two. The bathroom still shows signs of use, with a stocked toilet-paper holder and abundant paper towels.
Like other Monsanto bathroom, this one feels cramped. Like a few others in the building, it contains a shower, though, like the bathroom itself, it was being used as storage space at the time of our visit. Despite its clutter, the bathroom was "clean" in a sanitary sense, and will likely remain so - the restroom does not appear to be in a high-traffic area.
Like some other campus bathrooms, the Monsanto basement bathroom is worth a visit purely because of its odd half-bathroom-half-closet nature. Still, if you regain consciousness in a basement laboratory of Monsanto Hall strapped to some strange contraption that's grafting your genes with that of a platypus, and you need to pee, this bathroom is an acceptable option.
