Renovation Updates

The Campus Recreation and Wellness Center Aquatic facilities closed in December 2014 to undergo a multi-million dollar renovation to the space; it re-opened to the university community in July 2015. The project was all-inclusive and included upgrades that will help the Aquatics facilities to be more sustainable. Below is a list of just a few highlights of what was accomplished during the renovation:

  • Complete replacement of all filters, pumps, motors, piping, and chemical feed systems on all bodies of water
  • Addition of UV technology to both pools and spas
  • New dehumidification system for the natatorium and dedicated spectator seating HVAC
  • Replacement of the video boards and timing system
  • Replacement of the previous stainless steel bulkheads to three Stark fiberglass bulkheads
  • Overhead lighting replaced with LED with dimming capabilities
  • All underwater lighting replaced with LED and color changing capability in the Leisure Pool
  • Replacement of starting blocks to customized Spectrum Xcellerator blocks
  • Fully functional indoor and outdoor spas
  • Replacement of outdoor lounge chair furniture
