<p>The existing paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms can mostly
be opened by just pulling them open with a little bit of force. If
that doesn't work, you can use something like a regular key,
butter knife, or flathead screwdriver to turn the latch on the
top.</p>
<p>The only bathroom that doesn't have a paper towel dispenser is
the one by CCL. I agree soap dispensers would be good. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Adding Commons. I've also been thinking about
this. We do have towel dispensers in the bathrooms, and stacks
of paper towels in the cleaning supplies closet (across from the
Small Classroom), but I usually can't figure out how to open the
dispensers, so I've often seen paper towns stacked somewhere in
the bathroom.

<div>I would be supportive of a solution that is more robust for
both paper towels and soap dispensers.<br>
