Renovation of a mixed-use development in La Junta, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility; and fitness / recreation center.

A. Sprinkler System: The building is approximately 42,000 gsf with access/egress available from lower and ground levels. The original construction date was 1952 with a renovation update in 1989. The building is completely void of any fire sprinkler or suppression system. Flow Tests from existing hydrant source indicates that no supplemental pumps will be required to service the needs of this building. B. Emergency Lighting and Exit Paths Emergency Lighting and Exit Paths are dated and do not lend to emergent situations and ease of egress. Handrails and aisle/balcony rails are old and outdated and give concern to liability of smaller attendees falling between rails. Points of egress make security measures limited and design inhibits flow of traffic to move smoothly between entry and exits. Lack of directional egress and pathways to and from stairways from upper seating make emergency evacuations of those areas confusing and hazardous. Old wooden doorways and directional egress and pathways into and out of main floor have latching issues and makes it difficult to control entering or exiting crowds through direction and door accessibility. Bottlenecks in main entry through Ticket area lends to congestion in emergent situations.
