Can lockers be installed in under-stair spaces?

Under-stair spaces are an excellent location for locker banks, converting otherwise unused floor area into productive storage. The sloped ceiling of an under-stair area limits column height — measure the clearance at each locker column position, accounting for the door swing. Half-height locker units (36"–42" tall) are the most versatile for low-clearance under-stair areas. In ADA-accessible buildings, ensure under-stair storage installations comply with ADAAG requirements for equipment stored in accessible paths. Also verify with your building department that under-stair areas in your occupancy may be used for employee storage (some fire codes restrict under-stair storage).
