Counsilman-Hunsaker in association with Moody Nolan Ltd. was selected to design a first-class aquatic center for Miami University. The private university wanted a facility that would provide athletic and recreational programming spaces to meet the needs and objectives of their students and community.
Counsilman-Hunsaker’s design included four bodies of water: competition pool, diving well, leisure pool, and whirlpool spa. Highlighted amenities of the aquatic complex feature:
An innovative design feature of the diving well includes two systems that help protect divers from injury: a sparger system that provides a soft-landing cushion of aerated water for divers during training by introducing diffused air into the water below the diving boards, and a surface agitator that sprays water onto the surface from above.
50-meter competition pool with eight lanes
Bulkhead
Moveable floor for shallow water use of deep-water competition pool
25-meter by 17-meter diving well, which can be sectioned off to provide additional lap lanes
Diving tower with 1, 3, 5, 7½, and 10-meter diving
Separate leisure pool includes warm-water play areas of shallow zero-depth entry for disabled swimmers and children, aerobic/instruction area, waterfall, and current channel
16-person whirlpool spa
