4.05 Lockers

Lockers

Objective

Provide an area for guests to secure their personal belongings and change into spa or fitness attire.

• Multiple types of guests may utilize the locker areas:
• Spa
• Fitness
• Day use
• Members

Space Planning

Position the locker area near the locker room entry. Situate the lockers in areas that promote a sense of privacy. Do not place lockers in main circulation areas.

• If a membership program exists, position the dedicated member lockers separately from spa guest lockers.

• Smaller lockers or cubbies may be provided for use by fitness guests.

• At larger locker areas, avoid large wide open locker rooms. Use the layout of the lockers to strategically create smaller nodes of changing areas to create a greater sense of privacy.

• Visual privacy is desired. A doorway leading from coed areas, should not permit a direct view into the changing area of the locker area.

Design Features

Features:

• If the facility contains a pool or similar amenity, include a swim suit extractor to dry suits.

• Specify stools, ottomans or other seating that is comfortable, easily movable with durable and water resistant finishes. Supply one for every three to five lockers.

• Accessibility regulations may mandate specific sizes, heights and lengths of benches.

• Include full height mirrors. Ensure mirrors are located in areas that do not compromise the other guests that are changing.

• Plan for a high quality weight scale.

• Consider designing countertops or alcoves for grooming and make-up interspersed between the lockers. Design the counters for sitting at the women’s locker rooms and standing at the men’s locker rooms. Include power for hair dryers.

• Provide a beverage station featuring fruit-infused waters, and light snacks.
