About this file
This is a Custodial Design Standards document prepared by Utah Valley University (UVU) in coordination with the State of Utah Division of Facilities and Construction Management (DFCM) for the Student Athletic Center renovation project (Construction Budget: $3,100,000). The standards establish comprehensive design requirements for custodial spaces and restroom facilities within the building, superseding DFCM requirements in cases of discrepancy. The document specifies detailed requirements for multiple room types including general building requirements, custodial closets (wet and dry), event storage closets, custodial offices, and public restrooms. Key design specifications include minimum square footage requirements (150 square feet for dry closets, 100 square feet for wet closets, 120 square feet for custodial offices), door specifications (4/0 for dry closets, 3/0 for wet closets and offices), flooring materials (resilient seamless safety flooring, quarry tile, or sealed concrete), and mandatory features such as service sinks, shelving systems, chemical storage cabinets, utility hangers, and electrical outlets. The standards determine the number of required wet and dry closets based on floor area per level (one wet closet per 40,000 gross square feet or portion thereof; one dry closet per 150,000 gross square feet).
The document establishes clear responsibility allocations between contractors, the University, and the owner for furnishing and installing various components. Contractor-furnished items include shelving systems, chemical storage cabinets, service sinks, wet mop hanger racks, electrical outlets, and custodial office furnishings. University-furnished items include utility hangers and chemical dispensing systems. Owner-supplied and installed items for restrooms include toilet paper dispensers (Solaris LoCore basis of design), paper towel dispensers, trash cans (56-gallon Rubbermaid for restrooms with 3+ toilets; Vented Slim Jim for smaller restrooms), changing stations, toilet seat covers, feminine hygiene disposal containers, and feminine hygiene product dispensers. All custodial spaces must be exhausted to the outside, include LED lighting with lens covers, and be located separate from mechanical, electrical, and security infrastructure. The standards provide specific dimensions and configurations for all built-in elements and require architect-provided backing for wall-mounted equipment installations.
