This group worked with Opsis Architecture to explore replacement options for the facility.  As part of the study, Water Technologies Inc. (the largest aquatics engineering firm in the US) was hired to conduct a condition assessment of the Aquatic Center. The consultants concluded that many of the pool's components had begun to deteriorate or fail and had 3-5 years of useful life left. 

What The Report Found:

  • Plaster chipping & peeling in pool tanks

  • Brittle & small pipes from the original pool complex built in 1948

  • Overall Pool Grade = 44.84 out of 100 (failing)

  • Estimated Facility had 3-5 years of useful life left

  • Important parts of pool are outdated & failing

  • Major complications will cause closures & costly repairs

Solution Finding Process:

The study was guided by extensive community input, including stakeholder meetings, focus groups, tabling events, open houses, Spanish focus groups, surveys, presentations with local civic groups, organizations, user groups, and surveys.
