Beginning with a planning study, McGuire Igleski reviewed the Facility Services-Operations staff locker rooms at eight locations across campus—specifically comparing the ratio of space provided for men’s versus women’s locker rooms. With a goal to increase the number of women’s and all-gender locker rooms, McGuire Igleski designed additional locker rooms at four locations. The new locker rooms were carefully inserted into the existing buildings to provide spacious and fully accessible amenities that meet modern standards. The renovations maximize the functionality and flexibility of dedicated staff spaces to provide for future, equitable growth in the department.
