The 2015 Bond Program included funding to replace the BAC Walker Pool Facility. This design provided for construction of the following program elements: (1) demolition and full replacement of the existing building structure over the pool area with a new metal building; and (2) demolition and full replacement of the existing pool support facilities with a new 2-story facility, including: administrative area, coaches’ offices, wet classroom/ team room, athletic locker and dressing rooms (with public access/use), public restrooms, elevated bleacher seating (750 capacity), general pool storage area, mechanical-electrical-plumbing/custodial support areas, and an enclosed physical connection with the Josh Davis Natatorium on both levels. The overall design program for this project consisted of 44,995 sq. ft., with 29,920 sq. ft. for the pool swimming area metal building structure and 15,075 sq. ft. for the pool support facilities. Widening of the existing in-ground concrete pool by 5 yards and conversion of the concrete pool shell to a “Myrtha RenovAction System” were both included in the design as an accepted project bid alternate. This is the 1st Myrtha Pool System constructed in the greater San Antonio area. The pool design provides for a 50-meter long course and 25-yard short course supporting a variety of aquatics competitive events.
