FACILITY DESIGN GUIDES
LOCKERS & CHANGING
Lockers
4min
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
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.
- 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.
Consider the following:
- Locker size guidelines for accommodating business attire including jackets, shirts and pants etc. are as follows:
- Half lockers 45cm W x 61cm D x a minimum of 99cm H (18” x 24” x 39”) excluding the toe kick or top fascia.
- Full lockers 45cm W x 61cm D x a minimum of 182.8cm H (18” x 24” x 72”) excluding the toe kick or top fascia.
- Cube lockers 45cm W x 61cm D x a minimum of 61cm H (18” x 24” x 24”) excluding the toe kick or fascia.
- Include a clothes rod and hangers for business clothing.
- The locker interiors should be a washable wood or laminate surface.
- Consider a lower shoe compartment, integrated jewelry tray, and a small mirror mounted on the inside of the locker door.
- Specify a keyless locking system.
- Provide signage for locker numbers.
