Counsilman-Hunsaker was retained by the City of Sioux Falls in 2000 and again in 2006 to assess their existing aquatic facilities. In 2013, Counsilman-Hunsaker was once again retained to provide a City-Wide Aquatic Facilities Master Plan. Pleased with the results of the master plan, the city decided to move forward with the design of the new Midco Aquatic Center located in Spellerberg Park. The facility, completed in fall 2016, includes a 56,000 sq ft. indoor state-of-the-art aquatic complex that will embody the community’s needs and objectives by combining leisure areas and fitness/competitive swimming programming spaces. This recreation center has something for everyone to enjoy including the Augustana University and the University of Sioux Falls swim teams who will benefit from larger pool and spectator seating.
