Purpose

The Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center was built in the late 1980s, and while other maintenance projects have taken place in recent years, the plaster shell of the Olympic Pool is the original surface from when it was built.

Removing the old material from the Olympic pool,
Removing and replacing rebar if exposed in the Olympic pool,
Re-plastering the Olympic pool,
Addressing the tow ledge in the Olympic pool,
Installing anchor cups in the Olympic pool,
Removing and replacing pool lights in the Olympic pool,
Removing and replacing the starting blocks in the Olympic pool,
Removing and replacing pool tile in the Olympic and Therapy pools,
Removing and replacing handrails in the Olympic and Therapy pools, and
Installing depth markers and “no diving” tiles for the Olympic and Therapy pools.
