Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Carbondale, Colorado. Completed plans call for the construction of a swimming pool; and for site work for a swimming pool.

The new Aquatics Center will consist of a bathhouse with locker rooms, showers and bathrooms, a pool mechanical room, and a control desk and administrative area for pool staff. Second-story multi-purpose flex space will be included in the design of the facility. The outside pool area will consist of a 4-lane, 25-meter lap pool, an entertainment pool with a diving and/or slide well, a therapy pool hot tub, a lawn play area, and a splash pad with a shade structure. This project will be partially funded through grants like GOCO, DOLA, etc. The project team will need to work with the owner to provide information as required by the grant processes. While we do not anticipate obtaining LEED or other certifications, this building will be designed for a high level of energy efficiency and sustainability in line with a LEED Gold or LEED Platinum facility to the extent budget allows.

It is a place where kids learn to swim, teenagers pass the time in the summer, and community members engage in fitness activities. Located on a prime corner downtown, it acts as one of the community's entry points. While it has served Carbondale well, it is an aging facility that needs an update and redesign to meet Carbondale's needs today and into the future. The process is intended to identify opportunities for improvement in the aquatic facility. The planning effort documents the existing conditions of the pool and identifies areas where efficiencies could be realized. Through interviews with Town staff and key stakeholders, the process identifies constraints and opportunities for operations, programming, and the built perspectives. The process is informed by a working group comprised of representatives from pool user groups, town staff, and interested residents. The community was asked to provide feedback on the needs and desires of the Carbondale Pool, building off the engagement completed in 2019 by the Parks and Recreation Commission. This planning effort sought to provide efficient, fun, and inclusive ways for the community to participate in imagining what this facility could be going forward. The community's input offers the framework for the plan document, identifying the key infrastructure and amenities that should be included in an updated aquatics facility. There were discussions of "trade-offs" throughout the process to help the community understand the financial, operational, and physical constraints that need to be accounted for in the project. Two important aspects that were addressed regarding the aquatic facility plan were location and seasonality. Residents were asked their thoughts on these aspects in the survey. Their responses, combined with additional research information, were evaluated and discussed at length with the Working Group and other consulting groups.
