“We were able to construct through winter, and no one
missed a pool season,” Walters said.
Throughout the project, the City and the non-profit
Burlington Community Pool Corp. that operates the aquatic
center, relied on their design team – led by Ayres Associates
– to help them develop a destination aquatic center
complex. The team completed a site and facility analysis as
well as an assessment of mechanical systems and a staffing
plan. Concepts and cost estimates were developed for the
new facility to reflect three levels of development. The
design team also led the City through a public education and
referendum process, followed by completion of construction
drawings and bidding documents.
“We are not pool builders and don’t have that background.
When we needed recommendations, they’d lay out options
and provide recommendations, which allowed the process to
flow a little bit easier,” noting that she frequently called upon
landscape architect Blake Theisen and civil engineer Katie
MacDonald of Ayres for input. “They were very responsive,
very respectful, and overall very great personalities to work
with, and, ultimately, at the end of the day, we came out
with a fantastic product.”
