Utilities Requirements
(1) Ventilation system must be capable of
controlling excessive odor, heat and humidity common to locker

water sources, instead of located in the center of the space,
e.g., between the toilets, directly under sinks and in locker
areas.
(3) The locker room lighting must be 500 lux
(50 footcandles).
(4) Lighting fixtures should have translucent,
moisture resistant, nonbreakable, protective covers in place.

Furnishing, Built-in and Collateral Equipment List
(1) Lockers, hair dryers, electric water coolers,
clocks, benches, scales, bulletin boards, and soap dispensers,
and paper towel dispensers with integral trash receptacle.
(2) Lockers: Full-size lockers will be 304 mm by
304 mm by 1828 mm high (12 inches by 12 inches by 72 inches high)
and half-size lockers will be 304 mm by 304 mm by 914 mm high (12
inches by 12 inches by 36 inches high). Lockers shall have
latches for separate pad locks instead of built-in locks. Full-
size lockers are preferred over half-size lockers.
(3) Provide wall shelf and mirror and wall mounted
hair dryers at various heights, equipped with rotating heads so
the air can be adjusted.
Provide one hair dryer for every three
shower heads for men and one hair dryer for every two shower
heads for women. Locate adjacent to the drying areas.
h)
Adjacency Considerations
(1) Locker rooms shall be readily accessible to the
activity spaces, lobby, and control desk in the lobby with
privacy screening at entrances to eliminate views from adjacent
spaces into locker rooms. Provide direct line-of-sight from the
control counter to the locker room entrances.
(2) Locker rooms shall have direct access to the
shower and toilet spaces, and, if provided, the sauna, steam
room, and/or hot tub. Each locker room shall include a wet
