Broomfield Community Center

Broomfield, Colo.
Construction Cost: $43 million ($3.9 million aquatics)
Area / Square Feet: 98,044
Occupancy Date: October 2020

The expansive aquatic complex within the new Broomfield Community Center features four distinct indoor pools in two natatoriums — a nine-lane-by-25-yard competition pool with spectator seating for 100, as well as a 6,500-square-foot recreation pool, a therapy pool and a hydrotherapy spa.

The new facility’s design was artfully integrated into the site limitations, including a historic drainage ditch, open space and a reservoir, creating a harmonious relationship between architecture and surroundings. Strategic design choices were made to optimize lighting and minimize humidity-related concerns. A wave-like form liner on the natatorium’s precast concrete exterior alludes to the aquatic interiors, while a sawtooth facade on the north side channels indirect sunlight into the warm-water therapy pool.

Additional recreational amenities include two basketball/volleyball courts, locker rooms, family cabanas, a weight room, a child watch area, a preschool, an outdoor play area, fitness studios, classrooms, administrative spaces, and additional support spaces.
