"It's an exciting piece of work. We want to break down barriers and make university a more welcoming place for everyone," Imogen Adie, communications officer of the students union, said.
"I think the university is really open to it. The University of Sussex is a really open community and we want people to know that. We want to make people's experience of university as easy as possible."
Adie said the union would like the university to provide more gender neutral toilets alongside single gender toilets "so that all of our students are comfortable and safe on campus".
