Damn, they still make them:

Consult on privacy requirements with appropriate school representative prior to project starting. Gender differences may impact privacy needs — avoid providing too little, especially for girls. Properly positioned partitions add privacy within budget limitations

I had to use divider-less, communal showers in grade school before/after swimming. Not only was there no privacy but the showers were disgusting, and there were no showerheads so you got laserbeam'd by a high pressure, freezing icicle of water. Also you weren't in control of the water yourself. Everyone got in position and then stood there under the sword of Damocles waiting for the gym coach to turn some fucking valve in another room.

Even the modern guide says,

Privacy is of less concern in athletic stadium shower rooms, or university athletic facilities

I wonder how many university athletes they surveyed before reaching that conclusion.
