And why couldn't they just put in stalls back in high school? Never understood the open shower concept. Were they trying to traumatize young kids?

At least around where I grew up I heard that the same people that built jails, also built schools. So maybe that's where they got the idea?

Maybe they were afraid of situations with faculty and coaches and the stalls.

It's likely a cost issue. A lot less labor, plumbing, materials, time, etc to build one open shower as opposed to individual stalls.

My middle school and HS had a wall of shower stalls and the open shower.

They never gave us enough time to use them though. 5 minutes to get changed and 3 minutes between classes...we had to literally run to make it to classes from the gymnasium, and were still late most of the time.

After basketball practice/games, I'd go home and shower usually. Hardly anyone used he showers at school. I did a few times like after the mile runs when I'd have a ton of time left. Best part, the fat kids were still trying to make it around the track so I didn't have to see them in the shower. It pays to be fast.

Smoke machine and strobe lights, you wouldn't be able to see more than a few feet in front of you. Problem solved!

If I don't look down I could step in something or trip over mine*.
