Municipal Pool at Dula Center
Architect(s): Swisher Hall Architects
Address: 431 E. Bonanza
Year: 1999

The Municipal Pool is located within the City's Downtown Redevelopment District and houses a multi-use competition pool, dive tank, exercise room, classrooms, administrative offices, and even a café. The prominent central lobby with projecting roof plane easily marks the entrance. The facility features a passive cooling and heating system because the state energy codes related to the translucent roof and wall panels prohibited the use of air conditioning. Retractable roof panels and roll-up doors can be adjusted to control temperature and humidity.

This 50 meter competition pool, has a diving tank and bath house to transform the site from a malfunctioning outdoor swimming pool into a sophisticated indoor acquatic complex. This 38,000 square foot complex includes an olympic-sized pool, two large mulitpurpose classrooms and a fitness room to support community-based education and recreation efforts.
