My roommate has hpv. Do I need to take any precautions? I have heard that in some cases, hpv can be transmitted nonsexually, and we share a bathroom...

What should I do? Or is there nothing to worry about?

You do not have anything to worry about. Just make sure you guys are not using the same stuff.. Like wash rag in the shower or anything like that. Just keep the bathroom clean and always wash your hands. You should have nothing to worry about, it is called a std which does stand for secually transmitted disease, it is highly unlikely to get it nonsexually.
