Marshall Community Center Pool

Vancouver, WA

INNOVA Architects was a part of the team that evaluated, recommended, and executed upgrades to the existing Marshall Community Center Pool. The original pool was built in 1964, with multiple renovations and upgrades since that time.

A primary motivation for the project is to relocate the pool mechanical room from its original location, which was in a confined space and difficult to maintain, to an entirely new location that would facilitate easier maintenance, as well as provide for standardized maintenance procedures with their newer community pool across town.

Additionally, the parks staff requested renovations to an existing Family Changing Room and Lifeguard area so that (2) additional Family Changing Rooms and (2) ADA restrooms could be added for pool users.

Based on a full evaluation of the pool facility, we provided specific recommendations that aligned with the budget. Scope items include replacing the entire pool gutter system, replacing the Main Drains to be VGBA compliant, re-building much of the pool deck area for better drainage, building a new pool mechanical system (including a surge tank, filters, pumps and chemistry control), and a small exterior addition for the pool chemicals.
