Kelly Walsh High School Natatorium
Casper, WY
In 2015, Kelly Walsh High School commissioned Counsilman-Hunsaker to provide an evaluation on the existing swimming pool and provide recommendations for future use. The existing 25-meter swimming pool was constructed in 1977 and was nearing the end of its useful life expectancy. Ultimately, the school district was interested in determining the ideal approach for the future of the facility as a competitive venue while continuing to provide a safe and sanitary environment for the users.
Counsilman-Hunsaker conducted an aquatic facility evaluation to identify items that were substandard in the pool, pinpoint items that did not meet industry swimming pool design standards, and inspect any pool equipment that was not operating as designed.
After a thorough investigation of the existing facility and review with school district staff, it was determined that repairing the existing pool would serve as a cost-effective method to achieve the desired programming goals for the facility. Counsilman-Hunsaker teamed with RB+B Architects to create construction documents for the renovation recommendations selected by the owner from the audit report.
