In September 2005, the City of La Mirada commissioned Counsilman-Hunsaker to develop cutting-edge aquatic options and to provide research that would assist the city in making decisions on how best to proceed with the design and construction of an outdoor aquatic center. The study's objective was to identify and evaluate current aquatic programming and facilities, both locally and nationally, and establish a needs analysis for new aquatic space and programming that would best meet the community's aquatic needs.
