Souderton High School Natatorium
Souderton, PA
The Souderton Area School District (SASD) is situated midway between the cities of Allentown and Philadelphia. The Souderton Area with farmlands becoming home sites at a steady pace is considered suburban Philadelphia. To meet the needs of this growing community, SASD was facing a dilemma of over-crowding at its schools.
To accommodate growth, the School District reviewed their options for the future. It was determined that a new high school was the answer. The School District hired Breslin Ridyard Fadero Architects to design the new 450,000 sq. ft. Souderton High School. Included in the school is a state-of-the-art natatorium, which Counsilman-Hunsaker designed a unique configuration (depths range from 4′ to 12′), offering 25-yard lanes in both directions to accommodate the special needs of waterpolo, competition swimming/diving, training, and physical education.
