Baby-changing stations for Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt libraries.

We upgraded the Enoch Pratt Free Library branches in Baltimore with baby-changing stations. Our team carried out the installations across the library system.

Baby-changing station installations

Our firsthand experience

Our work across the library system

We installed a baby-changing station at every Enoch Pratt branch involved in the library-wide upgrade. Our work took us from branch to branch across Baltimore.

This account describes the branch network we served during that upgrade, a hands-on part of our Baltimore installation history.

Small fixtures are part of the complete restroom

A restroom project can involve individual accessories as well as a full partition layout. This library project is an example of our work on the accessories people use alongside the stalls.

For a new baby-changing station installation, identify the exact model and confirm its mounting instructions, wall support and placement with the project team. Review the open unit’s relationship to doors, circulation and other fixtures as part of the room plan.

Planning guidance for a similar project

Plan each library branch before scheduling the rollout.

A library-wide baby-changing station upgrade involves individual rooms with their own walls, doors and access arrangements. A short site survey for each branch gives the installer more useful information than a single system-wide quantity.

Survey the room with the station open

Record the proposed location, wall construction and available support. Review the selected unit’s open and closed dimensions against doors, fixtures and circulation. Have the project team check the applicable accessibility requirements for the complete room. A product’s closed footprint alone does not establish that it fits.

Match the installation to the wall and model

Identify the exact model and obtain its installation instructions before selecting the anchorage. Check whether the existing support is suitable or needs preparation by another trade. Do not assume identical-looking rooms have identical wall construction, or that holes left by an old accessory match the new one.

Arrange access and leave a maintenance record

Confirm the branch contact, work window and arrangements for closing the work area where needed. At completion, follow the model’s inspection instructions and record its identity and location. Give the facilities team the care instructions and replacement-part information so future service does not start with guessing the model.

Questions before you order.

Can every branch use the same baby-changing station?

Possibly, but confirm it room by room. Available space, wall conditions and the unit’s operating footprint may differ. Standardizing the model can simplify maintenance only where the selected product and installation suit the individual location.

What should facilities staff check after installation?

Follow the specific model’s inspection and maintenance instructions. For example, Koala’s KB300 instructions cover smooth opening and closing and the condition and function of the restraint system. Keep the actual unit’s instructions available and use its replacement-part information.
