the drying area from the locker spaces. The toilet spaces shall
be adjacent to the locker spaces. If a pool is provided, access
between the shower spaces and the toilet spaces and the pool deck
should be coordinated to adequately separate wet and dry zones
within the locker rooms. Access from the shower spaces and the
locker spaces to the toilet spaces shall be through a dry
corridor or area.

Special Requirements
(1) The locker rooms, shower and toilet spaces shall
be designed to facilitate cleaning by hosing down the spaces,
e.g., design locker base and floor drain(s) with proper floor
slope and access to a keyed hose bibb with hot and cold water.
(2) Provide individual shower stall in the women's
shower spaces. If gang showers are provided in the men's shower
spaces, provide a separate drying space between the shower space
and the locker space. The drying space shall have a bench and
clothing and towel hooks on the wall above the bench.
(3) Do not provide urinal screens in the men's
toilets.
Deleting them will reduce daily cleaning and
maintenance/repairs, eliminate rusting, provide more width
clearance, and reduce vandalizing.
(4) Provide toilet location immediately inside
locker room entrance. The intent is to separate spectators using
toilets from patrons using locker room to minimize flow
conflicts.
(5) The sauna shall include wood benches, electric
heater with guard rails, tamperproof temperature control,
thermometer, hydrometer, temperature and panic alarms with
audible monitors at the main control desk, light with exterior
switch, door with glass vision panel and panic bar hardware, and
clock (hardwired with battery backup) that is outside the sauna
and visible through the door vision panel from inside the sauna.
(6)
The steam room shall have ceramic tile benches.
(7) The cool-down space shared by the sauna and
steam room shall have bench(es) with clothing/towel hooks on the
wall above the bench(es).
