Deerfield Academy is a distinguished coeducational, independent boarding school with a legacy dating back to its establishment in 1797. Renowned for its commitment to academic excellence and the nurturing of a close-knit community, the institution prioritizes the comprehensive development of its students.

Adding to the allure of the Deerfield Academy campus are its cutting-edge athletic facilities, playing a pivotal role in each student's holistic well-being and growth. The school's dedication to providing exceptional resources is palpable through its continuous efforts to modernize and elevate its infrastructure.

In 2023, a thorough audit of the Koch Pool was conducted, yielding a comprehensive report that outlined essential repairs and renovations and offered insightful estimates of the associated costs.

Koch Pool, a cornerstone of the student's athletic journey, recently underwent a transformative renovation, enhancing both the 25-yard lap pool and the 1,120 sq. ft. diving pool. The primary scope was removing the cementitious finish which had failed in large areas and debonded from the substrate. These failed areas led to abrasive surfaces and injuries sustained by the swim team. Counsilman-Hunsaker designed a new ceramic tile finish in both pools along with other smaller recommendations following the 2023 audit including a new means of egress from the diving pool, new VGB-compliant main drain covers, new depth markings and warning signs, and a new access hatch to the surge tank.

The renovated Koch Pool now continues to serve as a hub for athletic training and competitions and as a space for recreational activities and community bonding, significantly enhancing the overall student experience.
