The Avondale Aquatic Center is a modern, energy-efficient facility designed for comfort, safety, and community engagement. It features locker rooms, showers, restrooms, staff offices, a nurse station, a lifeguard office, and a food truck/snack area.
Mechanical systems include split system heat pumps and evaporative cooling with natural gas heating. Ventilation and exhaust systems support indoor air quality in high-fume areas. Plumbing uses lead-free materials, low-flow fixtures, and efficient water heating. Fire protection meets NFPA 13 standards.
RMH upgraded the electrical system to include an 800A service, installed LED lighting with smart controls, and set up infrastructure for solar and EV charging. In addition, the design enhances security with access control, surveillance cameras, and fire alarms. RMH designed site lighting to minimize light pollution and created durable, comfortable interior lighting.
This facility reflects a commitment to sustainability, functionality, and user experience.
