Designed by Brinkley Sargent Architects, Mesa Design Group, Moody Nolan, and Counsilman-Hunsaker, the natatorium complements the center’s flowing architecture with sweeping views inspired from an adjacent wetland creek, one of the shaping forces of the project. A 25-yard eight lane indoor lap pool with on-deck seating provides competitive aquatics. An outdoor free-form leisure pool maximizes a strong visual connection between the inside and outside bodies of water.
Other amenities of the 82,000 sq. ft. center include a double gymnasium, fitness center (separate spaces for kids and adults), elevated running track, drop-in preschool, group exercise room, multi-purpose room, arts and crafts studio, and game room.
Mechanical Room Renovation – 2021
Counsilman-Hunsaker was contracted through the City of Plano to design a full pool mechanical equipment renovation. This consisted of a complete replacement of the filtration systems, chemical feed systems, secondary disinfectant UV systems, water chemistry controllers, water level controllers, flow meters, as well as the recirculation and feature pumps. Additionally, the existing backwash basin received a new waterproof finish. Counsilman-Hunsaker coordinated for the new UV control panels to be relocated to an adjacent storage room to prevent corrosion.
The existing filtration systems were driving the need for these renovations. The old filter tanks that were installed at this facility were from a manufacturer that no longer provides operation support and as a result, the city was no longer able to obtain replacement parts.
