RE: 2020 Capital Locker Room Remodel
DATE: June 9, 2020
SUMMARY: The Avon Recreation Center opened November 11, 1995. Lockers, shower and toilet stall
partitions and floors were last updated in 2000. An upgrade of vanities, walls and shower tile was
completed in 2015. 2020 CIP budget includes $200,000 for lockers, partitions and flooring upgrades.
Staff is seeking committee input to present a recommendation to Avon Town Council.
BACKGROUND: Our current lockers and partitions are HDPE plastic. They have held up well but are past
their useful lifespan and in need of replacement. Current flooring is a glass bead epoxy that has also held
up well but is challenging to clean, showing signs of significant wear, and is outdated compared to modern
locker room applications.
ANALYSIS: Industry trend research provides background that municipal recreation centers are following
design practices of smaller and more upscale private health clubs. HDPE lockers with laminate wood grain
patterns, tile floors and more elegant partitions are current indust ry trends and what most users expect from
a modern recreation center.
Current locker count includes 208 lockers in the Men’s and 141 in the Women’s. Men’s room has 62 tall
lockers and the Women’s room features 28 tall lockers. All lockers are 11” wide, include clothing hooks but
do not include shelves. Proposed lockers will be 15” wide with hooks and shelves in the tall lockers. The
proposed configuration would feature:
• 154 total lockers in the Men’s Locker Room, 52 tall and 102 half size
• 91 total lockers in the Women’s Locker Room, 33 tall and 58 half size
To offset the net loss in total lockers, the long-term locker rental program will no longer be offered.
Our current HDPE partitions are 100% recyclable and the new product we are pursuing is made from
recycled product and is fully recyclable as well.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Council approved the 2020 Capital Fund Budget that includes $200,000
of funds for the proposed locker room remodel. Locker rooms are currently closed for COVID-19 safety
protocols so a loss in revenue from the closure of locker rooms is not of consequence.
RECOMMENDATION: The Health and Recreation Committee recommends the Avon Town Council
approve the 2020 Capital locker room remodel project proceed to the construction bid process.
Thank you,
John
