Description

The project will renew the interior of the shower building using sustainable materials and fixtures that will make it easier to maintain, reduce future repairs, and improve aesthetics and the overall experience for users. HVAC improvements will reduce the rate of deterioration of finishes and improve the climate and air quality, especially in high-use conditions.

Project Need

Opened in 1999, the building has been a major enhancement and convenience, attracting and retaining local campers. Rangers often receive positive comments from visitors. The building is not climate-controlled, though, and ventilation is limited to minimal exhaust systems and passive air movement. High humidity and the adverse nature of the building’s overall function have made maintenance a challenge. Many of the finishes used in its initial construction were likely not designed to handle current conditions and as a result are deteriorating.
