We've been working hard and are super excited to present the current Aquatics Facility design to Carbondale! This design represents the essentials of the master plan and a large amount of input from Town Staff, the Board of Trustees, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Tree Board, a citizens based Working Group, a Design Advisory Committee, and the Carbondale Public Arts Commission. After reviewing energy use and carbon impacts, the Town and Team have opted for an extended season (roughly May-September) rather than a facility that is open year-round. A pool open in January in Carbondale burns a LOT of energy and doesn’t reflect Carbondale’s community values of sustainability.
The final design as priced includes:
Six-lane lap pool with 12’ deep diving end. (when diving is open, 2 lap lanes remain open)
2,448 SF recreational pool with a large 12” deep toddler shelf, multiple play features and 5’ deep swim lessons/flex area.
2,743 SF single story building with a small office, guard shack area, changing rooms, storage, and mechanical room.
Fully electric building and pool heating systems which include roof mounted electric heat pumps and a PV system.
Modest paved pool deck with a grassy lawn area.
Alternate features which could be added to the project scope and/or added in a later phase, depending on pricing, include:
153 SF hot tub (plumbing infrastructure will be installed now so this can be added later)
Built-in exterior shade canopy with a bi-facial PV system. This would provide covered space for birthday parties, families, small groups etc.. (electrical infrastructure will be installed now so this can be installed later)
Removable shade structure covering part of the pool deck and toddler play shelf.
