Changing
Rooms for Cyclists & Joggers
Although cyclists
and joggers can change in washrooms and store a change of clothes in
the workplace, dedicated facilities are more likely to encourage regular
human-powered commuting. Health and environment amenities attract and
retain qualified staff and employees — a market plus for buildings.
- For commercial
and institutional facilities, provide changing rooms, lockers and
showers for employees.
- Connect changing
room, shower and locker facilities with bicycle storage, or with wash-room
facilities, exercise rooms or pools.
- Provide sufficient
showers to avoid waits at peak times, and to accommodate growing use.
- Provide separate
change/shower rooms for males and females. For very small buildings,
a single lockable shower/dressing room for both genders could be provided.
Cautions
- Facilities must
be accessible to building occupants, but not to the general public
or visitors.
- Easiest for institutional
or commercial development projects greater than 10,000 sq.ft.
