Interior The interior functions include male and female restrooms, showers, changing rooms, a check-in desk, a storage space, concessions, and support spaces. The shower and changing room layouts are gang-style for the male restrooms and with individual compartments for female restrooms. Typical finishes throughout the interior include painted CMU walls, painted concrete floors, tile floors, and lay-in ceiling systems. Toilet partitions and changing compartments include a combination of curtains on tracks and painted wood. Grab bars and shower seats are present at one water closet and one shower for each sex, but at the time of the site visit one shower seat and shower control wand were disconnected. The check-in desk built-ins have a laminate top and painted wood frames that are not ADA-compliant. All plumbing piping is surface mounted in the space. No lockers are present inside the facility. Interior recommendations include: › The CMU walls are in good condition and only require scraping and repainting. The lay-in ceiling system is in good condition and requires cleaning, re-setting of misaligned tiles, and spot replacement of damaged tiles. Solid wood storage shelving is in good condition. Remaining interior elements of doors, toilet and shower compartments, floor finish (paint), joint sealants, and casework are beyond their useful life and require replacement. › Consider new applied shower wall and flooring finishes if maintaining painted surfaces is not desired. › There is a lot of underutilized space in the middle of both restroom/changing rooms. This area likely housed lockers at some point and is now just open space. Recommend reprogramming and/or reconfiguring the space to create accessible route through the building and improve accessibility and privacy of water closets and showers. › The concessions room was locked and not open for observation at the time of this site visit.

The pool equipment room exhibits significant deterioration as described in the SKA proposal document “Evaluation of Overhead Concrete Distress” dated April 16, 2019. Additional study is required as described in the proposal to verify if the distress can be remediated or if the equipment room will require demolition and reconstruction. Plumbing The plumbing fixtures throughout the building need cleaning or replacement. There are no hose bibbs around the pool area. The flush valves on the water closets and urinals are disassembled for winterizing. The shower trench drains are clogged with debris. The water fountain was removed due to Covid. The acid and chlorine tanks are stored together in the pool equipment room. Plumbing recommendations include: › Clean or replace plumbing fixtures with water saving water closets and urinals. Install hose bibbs abound pool for general maintenance. Replace flush valves with water saving flush valves. Install new fountain. › There are currently no single occupancy restrooms/shower/changing facilities. It is recommended to add at least one when doing a renovation or new construction. Mechanical The pool equipment room is served by a wall mounted fan and an exhaust duct system for ventilation. The concessions room is served by a package air conditioning unit located on the floor next to the building. The restrooms are ventilated by roof mounted exhaust fan. All mechanical equipment in the building and pool equipment room has exceeded its life span and is deteriorated due to the corrosive environment. Mechanical recommendations include: › Replace air conditioning unit serving the concessions room. › Replace toilets exhaust fans. Replace exhaust system serving the pool equipment room. › Provide corrosion resistant ductwork and redesign system to improve air circulation.
