Question 2: Are the restroom / shower / changing facilities to be sized to accommodate minimum fixture requirements per building and environmental health code requirements based on pool / splash pad size or is there a specific occupant load we should design for?

Answer 2: The sizing of restroom, shower, and changing facilities should indeed be based on both the minimum fixture requirements per the building code and the environmental health code requirements. These codes typically provide guidelines for the minimum number of fixtures required based on the anticipated occupant load.

In the context of a pool or splash pad, the specific occupant load should be determined based on the maximum expected capacity of the facility during peak usage times. This would include not only the people using the pool or splash pad but also those who may be accompanying them. It's essential to design the facilities to comfortably accommodate this maximum anticipated occupant load to ensure that there are enough fixtures to meet the needs of the users, while also adhering to health and safety regulations.

Question 3: Does the City have any specific program for the restroom facilities (additional storage, lifeguard break area, etc.)?

Answer 3: The facility would necessitate storage and restroom facilities. While there is no need for a break room, there should be a designated area for participant check-ins.

Question 4: Shall the design team assume the restrooms to be constructed of load bearing CMU with wood truss roof system and standing seam or asphalt roof or does the City have a different construction assembly in mind?

Answer 4: The city has no specific construction assembly preferences at this time. We look forward to relying on your expertise and recommendations for the project.
