Demolition on the existing natatorium has begun at Kalamazoo College. The facility will be completely removed and replaced by a new natatorium. Designed by TowerPinkster, this ~30,000 SF facility will occupy the site immediately adjacent to the new(ish) Fitness & Wellness Center and across the street from the Anderson Athletic Center. It has a fairly efficient-looking floor plan, and will be quite contextual with the surrounding architecture. Features include:
Quote:
- 28,000 total square feet
- Ten short course lanes for competitive meets; flexible design to allow for 25 meters and 25 yards
- Separate diving area; two 3-meter boards; two 1-meter boards
- Stands to accommodate up to 268 spectators; deck seating for athletes
- Dryland training room
- Office suite for coaches and meet management
- High quality timing system
- Four locker rooms – two for intercollegiate athletes, two for general use
- Display space in the lobby to acknowledge accomplishments of K’s swimmers and divers
