The pool area also has its share of issues, he said. “You can see that that’s just not acceptable.” “I’m embarrassed that that’s our locker room,” Rittenhouse said, mentioning, among other things, that it only has one toilet. The boys locker room was in itself an issue. You obviously can’t have everyone walking through the changing area to get to the pool, Rittenhouse said. The pool area, for example, can only be accessed by first going outside the building, since the door originally constructed to bring students into the swimming area from inside the school leads through the boys locker room. There were other examples of poor access and circulation throughout the building. Rittenhouse also said there are other spaces in the building also not ADA compliant, referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The steps leading up to the second floor of the library, which mostly houses magazines and other periodicals, make it a difficult access point for the handicapped.
Then it was on to the library, a room, like others in the school building, that needs to be brought up to standards. But he also said the ability to fit 1,038 students in there is a positive thing, and called the space more than adequate. The tour both began and ended in the auditorium – a room that Rittenhouse said has sound and lighting issues, as well as other needs.
