As Built:
The coat hooks in the corridor are mounted between 49-1/2" and 53".
Recommendation:
Lower at least one section of coat hooks to 48" maximum.
Since the Community Center is used by children, it would be wise to mount a section of coat hooks at 40" maximum (for 5 to 8 year olds) or 44" maximum (for 9 to 12 year olds).
