This project was evaluated and designed by COAR Design Group (formerly JKA) in collaboration with WTI. The scope included a facility evaluation to ensure current code compliance, energy efficiency, site security, and facility wide safety features. This 20,000 square foot site includes a community center, lap pool, locker and shower building, equipment room, pool deck and playground.

  • Replacement of the pool deck and drainage to a more durable, non-slip, and easily maintained system.

  • New pool filtration and heating equipment, piping and expanded equipment room to meet current codes and provide the necessary space for expansion

  •  Feasibility study of solar heating system and grant information for Savings by Design and other avenues.

  • LED site lighting and analysis of existing site security including perimeter fencing.

  • Modified skimmer locations and supply lines for better use of pool during swim instruction and aquatic exercise programs.

  • Restroom and shower upgrades to current codes and materials to provide a safer facility for users.

  • ADA pool upgrades as required by code.

  • Site upgrades including shade, lifeguard locations, signage, and finishes.

COAR Design Group facilitated the bidding and construction of this facility as well as assisting the city with as-builts and long-term maintenance strategies to ensure long term durability and efficiency as well as increased income opportunities and additional programming.
