Borough explores renovations at Carmell building to provide girls’ locker rooms and athletic space
Summary
Munhall councilors said a local university expressed interest in renovating the second floor of the Carmell building (referred to as Carmel in the workshop) to create girls’ softball locker rooms and possibly additional athletic space; councilors are waiting for contractor bids and will advertise for work next week.
Councilors said they are moving forward with plans to renovate the second floor of the Carmell building so a local university could create locker rooms for the girls’ softball team and potentially other athletic spaces, following a site visit two weeks earlier.
A council member said representatives from the university toured the second and third floors and expressed interest in locker-room space facing the field and in larger-scale uses on the third floor, such as batting cages. The borough has taken bids for the hallway work that will be needed to prepare the second floor, and councilors said they are waiting for contractor bids to finalize renovation costs.
Councilors discussed scope decisions: the initial work would be limited to locker-room space (no showers), and any further third-floor renovation would follow once bids and roof-unit upgrades are arranged. The council also discussed advertising the renovation work next week so formal procurement can begin.
No contract or appropriation was approved at the workshop; councilors said they will move forward with obtaining bids and bringing cost information back for formal action.
