PEELER RECREATION CENTER

Interior The interior functions include male and female restrooms, showers, changing rooms, a check-in desk, storage spaces, and support spaces. The shower room layouts are gang-style with changing compartments for female the restrooms. Toilet compartments have four-inch CMU divider walls with some, primarily in the female restrooms, containing doors. Typical finishes throughout the interior include painted CMU walls, concrete floors, vct flooring in the ticket room, and exposed concrete ceilings (roof structure). There are no ADA-compliant water closets or showers in the facility. Entry widths also do not comply with the current code for accessible door clearances. The check-in exterior counter/structure is not ADA-compliant. No lockers are present inside the facility. Interior recommendations include: › The CMU walls are in good condition and only require scraping and repainting. Wood storage shelving and cabinets are in fair condition. Remaining interior elements of doors, non CMU toilet and shower compartments, and joint sealants are beyond their useful life and require replacement. › Lockers have been removed from the spaces. Recommend reconfiguring the space and fixtures to create an accessible route through the building and improve accessibility and privacy of water closets and showers. Plumbing The water fountain has been removed due to Covid. The plumbing fixtures are in fair condition. Debris has settled around the deck drains. Plumbing recommendations include: › Install new water fountain. Clean plumbing fixtures. Clean out deck drains. Option of replacing flushing fixtures with water saving flushing fixtures. › 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.

Exterior of the pool house at Peeler Recreation Center

Exterior The exterior of the pool house building is constructed with a precast concrete “T” roof structure and concrete post and beam frame along the perimeter. The infill of the post and beam frame is composed of brick veneer over CMU backup with hollow metal doors, and aluminum and hollow metal windows. The gaps between the precast “T” and top of wall are infilled with either chain link fencing or wood panel. A two-piece metal coping runs along the top of the wall with internal drainage leading to downspouts on the end walls. The roof membrane is EPDM. Exterior recommendations include: › The concrete frame, roof structure, and brick and CMU walls are all in good condition. Spot repair of the precast roof structure will be needed at perimeter edges that exhibit water damage and/ or cracking/spalling concrete. Brick veneer at the bottom of the equipment room door has been repointed on one side already and needs to be repointed on the other side. › The remaining elements of chain link/wood panel infill between the roof structure, doors, windows, and joint sealants are beyond their useful life and require replacement. › While the EPDM roof membrane itself appears to be in fair condition, the seams and flashings are all worn and in need of repair. The northwest corner of the roof has significant pleating and lack of attachment underneath. The southeast corner has significant ponding water, likely due to leaves blocking the drain. Recommend replacing the roof membrane, flashings, and coping.
