This modern and iconic dual-pool facility, designed by MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects (MJMA) and Acton Ostry Architects, features a 10-lane 50m competition pool, an 8-lane 25m recreational lap pool, a shallow family pool with a lazy river loop and play features, as well as a hot tub, sauna and many additional amenities. Designed to target LEED Gold, UBC’s new Aquatic Centre includes a leading-edge rainwater harvesting system and a 1.3-million-litre underground water cistern enabling rainwater harvested from the roof to be collected, filtered and stored to replenish evaporated pool water.
