Note: The facility was re-rated using 2001 dormitory requirements. The maximum capacity for each unit (A – D) was determined
by combining the sleeping and dayroom space. Because the resulting number (45 for each unit) was not evenly divisible by
the two sleeping areas, we rated one unit at 23 and the other unit at 22.
