Abstract
A locker includes a pair of upstanding sidewalls, upper and lower horizontal panels, a plenum, and at least one compartment defined between the upstanding sidewalls. A chemical dispensing unit is disposed on or in the locker relative to the upper and lower horizontal panels, over and/or between the sidewalls. A first fan is disposed between the chemical dispensing unit and the plenum of the locker. The first fan pulls air and chemical into perforations formed in the locker to dispense the chemical throughout and in close proximity to the locker and remove dirty air. The first fan, or a second fan, draws clean air through the perforations of the locker. The dirty, chemical-integrated-air exits the locker room out an exhaust vent and is replaced by the clean air.
