APACHE MALL EVALUATION ,Page 2 <br /> Comm: 92-10 <br /> SPORTS AND HEALTH BULDING <br /> This building is currently vacant and is uninhabitable in its present <br /> condition.. Due to the amount of moisture entering the facility, it <br /> is highly probable that repairs will be much more extensive than a <br /> visual observation can detect. <br /> The major deficiency is the failure of the exterior wall system to <br /> resist water and air penetration., in addition to failing to comply <br /> with the Energy Codes. The walls are a pre-engineered component <br /> system of a thin mineral fiber board and exterior metal cladding. <br /> Several panels have failed and must be replaced. Additionally, ' all <br /> panels require new sealant. To address the Energy Conservation Code <br /> would require insulation be fitted in existing wall cavities: This <br /> is easiest to achieve by removing the panels from the exterior, <br /> rather than demolishing the interior walls, some of which are tiled. <br /> The portions of the building where the walls are exposed or have <br /> damaged gypsum board interiors are best repaired by removing the <br /> gypsum board, installying appropriate insulation, vapor barrier and <br /> new gypsum board. The windows are 1/4" glass in wood stick frames. <br /> These should be replaced with an insulated glass and weather proofed <br /> frame with appropriate sealants. <br /> Due to discontinuation of wall system and the extent of work, it is <br /> most feasible to simply install a new, insulated panel system, <br /> complete with windows and doors. <br /> Handicapped access must be addressed at all exits. New hardware and <br /> exterior ramps are required. The toilet and showers also require <br /> revisions. This will involve demolition of 2 stalls in each toilet <br /> and shower room to enable a larger handicapped stall to be <br /> constructed. New fixtures, grab bars and vanities are also <br /> required. Access to the pool will be required via a lift. Building <br /> requires disinfecting and removal of molds, etc. <br />
