John E. Mullin Lakeside Pool
Lauderhill, FL
As a result of receiving a Broward County SWIM Central Grant, the City of Lauderhill reinvented its previous City Hall site by creating a community-based swim facility in the midst of a multi-family neighborhood. The site offers a newly landscaped corridor that signals a rebirth of the area. The swim complex includes a 25-meter competition pool, fun pool and "Fun-Brella," 18,000 SF pool deck, 4,000 SF community building, concession stand, and restrooms. The architectural vocabulary is that of the Caribbean islands and is intended to provide visitors with a "resort-like feel." The pool provides recreation as well as swimming lessons and water safety training. Interiors and exterior were planned to include public art pieces that celebrate the aquatic nature of the facility. Wave patterns and other seashore themes are evident throughout.
