Area design, plan diagrams, and planning procedures for athletic fieldhouses adopted by North Carolina schools are recommended in this guide. The fieldhouse, generally a separate building accommodating the football team, is used by other teams of both sexes during their sports season. Location should be near play areas and planned for building protection. The locker room should accommodate the largest team; each player requires 20 square feet of floor space. Shower and toilet facilities should have direct access from the locker room. The coaches' office size depends on the number of occupants. In addition to 30 square feet for each desk and chair, storage, dressing, toilet, and shower space should be provided. Each sport's storage needs should be available in the equipment room. The training room's functions correspond with fieldhouse size and specialties. The weight room accommodates equipment for 15-25 people with 400 square feet and 30-40 people with 800 square feet. Rehabilitation implements require 80 additional square feet. Other facility considerations include interior surfaces, electricity, acoustics, and heating/cooling. The school board is responsible for fieldhouse construction and maintenance; the administration assumes design program responsibilities. The guide provides supplemental fieldhouse planning sources and concludes with five pages of plan diagrams. (CJH)
