communal shower
Group washing facility
A communal shower is a shared bathing facility with multiple showerheads in an open space, typically found in gyms, dormitories, military barracks, and prisons.
Unlike private stalls, communal showers offer no partitions between users: The locker room had a communal shower that could accommodate a dozen people at once.
The term often carries associations of vulnerability or forced intimacy.
