Westcoast Genesis Society

Published purpose

The project entails renovating and upgrading three (3) washrooms, the laundry room and flooring at the CRF. Most fixtures throughout all washrooms/stalls (including faucets, sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets). Grout and caulking are damaged and worn, tiles and flooring are loose, cracked and warped in places, and several areas of drywall are noticeably bubbled and water damaged. Mold and mildew are visible in many of the spaces, particularly on the ceiling in the laundry area and the tiles in the shower stalls, as well as the third-floor washroom walls and ceiling. While plumbing issues have been repaired over the years, evidence of the water damage remains. Even after cleaning, the odor and fungal growth quickly returns, or cannot be removed. Inadequate venting is also a contributing factor and would be addressed in the project. Finally, replace/repair the flooring in the foyer, and in the hallways and stairs throughout the house. The hardwood floors in the foyer are in desperate need of refinishing and the carpeting throughout the building is decrepit or missing. These areas of the CRF are in disrepair and require renovation to ensure the health and safety of the offenders that are residing at the CRF.
