City of Arvada Planning Swimming Center Remodel

By Katie Patterson, Communications Manager - Infrastructure, City of Arvada

The City of Arvada, Apex Park and Recreation District and Jeffco Public Schools recently announced the selection of OLC as the architecture and interior design firm to lead the George J. Meyers Swimming Center (7900 Carr St.) reconstruction project. Meyers Pool is a unique 50-meter aquatics facility that hosts a wide variety of users from competitive swimming events to recreational lap swimmers and swim classes. As the facility reaches the end of its lifespan, these partners have decided to replace the center with a new 50-meter natatorium. After years of planning, design and construction are ready to move forward. The design process is currently underway and incorporates a variety of previous feedback from pool users about their needs and desires for the next iteration of Meyers Pool. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2023. During construction, the current pool will remain open. The new pool will be built in the existing parking lot. After the new pool is operational, the existing pool will be demolished and a new parking lot built on the site. The construction impacts and a parking plan will be developed and shared with pool users and local residents to ease this disruption. On October 11th, community members are invited to visit the current pool for the opportunity to meet the designers and learn more about the next iteration of Meyers Pool.
