A team led by SFS Architecture conducted a feasibility study in 2014 to develop a business plan, facility program, conceptual design and cost estimates for a new community recreation and aquatic center in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Following a successful referendum, the team designed a 50,000 square foot community center on a highly visible and accessible site shared with the city’s high school, middle school and performing arts center.
Phase 2, completed in the summer of 2023, is an outdoor aquatic center adjacent to the existing community center that shares shower and locker facilities with the indoor aquatic center. The outdoor aquatic center includes an 8x25 yard competition pool, 1-meter diving tower and spray ground. Additional amenities include a climbing wall, inflatable water products and ample deck space. An air-supported dome structure allows for year-round use.
Phase 3 is planned to include more family-oriented features such as a lazy river and zero-depth entry.
