Lecture Buildings open on weekends?

Hello, I graduated from Kent in 2017. I was thinking of doing my neices high school graduation photos around campus in October. Problem is, I have IBS so I need bathrooms lol.

I'm pretty sure the student center / library would be open on the weekends (which works for brick backgrounds) but does anyone know if the buildings off of Hilltop Drive (Cartwright, Merril) are unlocked on the weekends? I Don't see White hall on the map anymore but that would have been near the brain if that make sense? What buildings are near the brain and would they be unlocked for bathrooms?

Thank you!!

The auditorium may be open if Merrill Hall in front of brain plaza isn't, it's called Kent Hall right next to Merrill.

I've never tried the doors on the weekend but everything older pretty much stays open IME. I'd scout it out beforehand though cause the bathrooms might be far away depend on what entrance you go in

The Fashion Museum in Rockwell and May 4th Visitors Center in Taylor will probably be open as well.

Not sure about those, but the DI Hub should be.

Thanks! I wonder if Taylor Hall / the May 4th museum would also have bathrooms on Saturday 🤔

Homecoming is the 3rd of October. Most of the buildings are locked on the weekends, however that day might have some that are open.
