ADMINISTRATIVE The board approved funding at its April 27 meeting for the basement level Women’s Locker Room renovation. Members are in overwhelming support for a whirlpool in the women’s locker room. The women’s shower room has changing areas in the shower stalls. Privacy screens will be installed in the men’s changing room to make it family friendly. • The equipment in the team weight training room will be removed to accommodate needed capacity for beauty/amenity bar stations. • Coffee and tea service will not be available and will be suspended during the renovation.
Day Use Lockers There should be plenty of lockers available on the subbasement level to meet day use needs. Members will need to bring their own locks. Removal of locks and contents when not in use will be essential to ensure lockers are available for everyone to use.
Locker Assignment Plan Based on the feedback received: • Lockers will be assigned. • Attempt will be made to maintain upper or lower locker assignment. • Assignments will be done with an attempt to maintain current locker groupings. - Because lines have to be drawn somewhere, members can expect that while those on one side of them may be the same, they may have new neighbors on their other side. • Most members will find their new lockers will be in the general locker location (e.g., east, west center). There are a couple of exceptions: - Those in the cubby area will be displaced due to the relocation of the steam room and sauna. Cubby renters will be transitioned into half size lockers. - The day use locker area will move due to the relocation of showers.
- Day lockers will be located near the west end entry and central to the steam room, sauna, whirlpool, and the west end showers. -There will also be full height, narrow lockers available for longer garments. These will be centrally located near the entry to the lounge. • Attempt will be made to try to locate groupings of lockers as they are currently located either near or away from amenity bars and showers. - Please understand the pieces will not fit perfectly and some members will not have their same proximity. - Because the city could mandate changes to the plan during the permitting process, locker assignments will not be finalized until mid-July at the earliest.
ADA lockers The renovated locker room will contain ADA compliant lockers. Members who have the physical need for one of these lockers will need to contact the Membership Office at (503) 517-7280 or membership@themac. com to reserve one of these lockers. To ensure availability, requests must be made by Friday, June 17. WM
