Background:
Built in 1981, the 625 Building is a 539,000 gross square foot, 17 story office building which was acquired by the county in 2018.
This project will make several improvements to the 625 Building including:
* adding all gender restrooms and all gender locker room facilities to the first floor of the building - while the upper floors of the building have all gender restrooms, there are no public-facing all gender restrooms adjacent to the auditorium. Adding two all gender restrooms will satisfy the code required fixture count and will align with the county's gender affirming policy as described in Resolution No. 22-0216.
* adding all gender locker rooms adjacent to the existing gendered locker room facilities. All locker rooms will include toilets, changing areas, and showers. Bike lockers are available in the Fifth Avenue ramp.
