1 Architectural Elements Support Facilities A. System Description 1. Architectural support facilities include the lobby, classroom, fitness room, office area, staff toilet/showers, public toilet/lockers, second floor spectator area, second floor toilets, mechanical rooms, chemical rooms and the basement laundry, mechanical and utility halls. 2. The spectator area is carpeted, stepped platform. B. System Conditions/Observations 1. Most of the interior support facilities appear to be in their original condition. Most finishes are from the original construction, though toilet partitions have been replaced. 2. The original large storage room at the southeast was converted into the fitness room, reducing storage area, which is now lacking for the facility. 3. Tile used in the toilets is generally in good shape, though somewhat dated looking. The floor tile is slippery when wet. 4. The wood ceiling is sagging at the second floor foyer. 5. Some of the public lockers need to be repaired or have doors replaced. They are generally in good condition. Some of the bases, above the concrete benches, are corroded. 6. Several floor tiles are broken adjacent to the linear floor drain in the women s locker area. 7. One changing booth partition is missing in the women s locker area. 8. Homemade wooden access panel doors in the wet shower areas need to be replaced. 9. Floor tile in the women s shower has been patched with mis-matched tiles. 10. Sprinkler heads in the locker areas are corroded. 11. Wall tile grout is discolored and missing at some walls in the toilets. 12. One suspended toilet partition in the women s locker appears to be pulling away from its support. 13. The ceiling finish in the women s lockers shows signs of water damage in several locations.

2 14. The urinal in the men s shower is inappropriate and unsanitary. 15. Hinges at the doors to the locker area, from the pool are corroded. The base of the frame has corroded away. 16. At the upstairs men s toilet, water supply valve at the remodeled urinal has been uncapped. 17. The plastic laminate sill below the operable windows at the second floor has been ruined by water infiltration. The transfer grilles at these tops no long fit flush. 18. The wall mounted server unit in the open office area has exposed wires above the unit, up through an unsightly hole in the ceiling. 19. Bases of double service doors, west side of pool room, are highly corroded. 20. The fitness room has no ceiling with exposed ductwork and mechanical equipment, inappropriate for this use. 21. Existing fitness equipment does not fit in the room, much is located on the pool deck. 22. The classroom lacks proper ventilation. 23. The ceiling in the classroom has water-damaged ceiling tiles. Supply grilles are dirty. 24. The classroom lacks flat screen monitor and systems integration. Design is not typical of current NAU classrooms. 25. The vending machines in the lobby are a visual intrusion and block views to the exterior. 26. The masonry feature wall of the lobby presents a cluttered appearance, with surface mounted conduits and wiremold. 27. Part of the masonry at the interior wall of the lobby is stained from water infiltration. 28. Exposed steel in the acid storage areas is highly corroded. The room is oversized for its function, which should be limited to acid storage. 29. The spectator area is finished with lightly padded carpeting, which is in average condition. Carpet replacement or improved seating should be considered. C. Code / Life Safety Issues A review of the 2009 International Building Code reveals: 1. The building is occupancy group A4, assembly use, with group A5 spectator seating on the second floor.

3 2. The construction type is most similar to Type IV-HT, masonry exterior with heavy timber interior roof construction. 3. The building is fully fire sprinklered. Sprinklers appear to be lacking below stairs. 4. The building area is unlimited, so long as a 60 open perimeter yard is maintained. The building has: a. Main floor 34,908 square feet gross b. Second floor 6,749 square feet gross c. Total main and second floor 41,657 square feet gross d. Basement 9,111 square feet gross e. Total all three levels 50,678 square feet gross 5. Occupant load is 987 at the first floor and 292 at the second floor spectator area, total 1279 occupants for the building. 6. Three exits are required at the main floor pool area. Three are provided. 198 of exit width are required, equivalent of six exit doors. Only five are provided to the exterior. Lobby doors need to be modified to exit in direction of exit travel, and then they can be counted. 7. Two exits are required at the second floor spectator area. Two are provided. Exit widths at doors and stairs are adequate. 8. The double doors exiting the spectator area to the main stair have a deadbolt. These doors must have emergency panic devices. 9.

The main exit from the pool area, into the lobby space should be three doors. Only two are provided. The main exit from the lobby, which also carries the second floor exiting, should total four doors. Only two doors exit this space presently to the exterior. Magnetic locks at lobby prevent exiting. 10. The west exit stair exterior door has a step at the door. Landings must be level with no vertical transitions at the threshold. 11. The west exit stair has 10 ½ treads. 11 minimum is required for safety. Risers are 7, compliant with current codes. 12. The west stair handrails are not at a constant height, all are too low and lack proper extensions. 13. The main stair treads are 11 ½, risers 6 ¾, compliant with current code. 14.

The lower floor of the same stair is cluttered with stored materials and bicycles. 18. The exit device at the west exit stair, second floor, is corroded. A review of the current American s with Disabilities (ADA) requirements, and applicable accessibility requirements of the IBC reveals: 1. The building entry is generally accessible. 2. The three building exits from the pool area are not accessible; each has a step at the doors. 3. The spectator seating area on the second floor is a primary use and needs to be served by an elevator or ramp. Neither exists. 4. One accessible means of egress is required at the second floor. None is provided. 5. Five accessible wheelchair spaces are required at the spectator seating area. None are provided. They should be spaced to provide multiple viewing opportunities for companion seating. 6. Two accessible entries are required for the pool.

The lobby area needs to be enlarged, to allow for three exit doors from the pool area and four to the exterior. 2. Exit devices should be installed at east spectator area doors. 3. Stair handrails and guardrails should be replaced to meet code. 4. An elevator should be installed to provide access for all to the second floor. 5. Wheelchair spaces need to be created at the spectator areas. 6. Public toilets at second floor should be enlarged to increase capacity and provided for accessibility. 7. A second floor custodial space should be provided. 8. First floor locker, shower and toilet areas all need to be remodeled for accessibility. Additional female toilets are needed. 9.
