Project Amenities

The design celebrates the spirit of competition with layers of transparency provided in each area of the building so that viewers both inside and out can see events happening within the building.

The SMSD Aquatic Center was constructed as part of a $223 million bond issue, approved by voters who reside in the Shawnee Mission School District in 2015. The facility also features classrooms, locker rooms, a coaches’ room, concession stands, and a dry land training area for athletes.

The SMSD Aquatic Center was designed to attract regional and national swim meets in addition to hosting the District 5 high school swim meets. It can hold up to 500 competitors and 1,000 spectators.
