About Pools and Recreation Centres projects
A brief for pools and recreation centres in New Zealand should reflect the activities the building will support. Ōpuke Thermal Pools by Sheppard & Rowe Architects is a reference for a facility centred on thermal bathing. Set out the pool types, water temperatures and user groups early; these requirements shape plant provision and the spaces needed for changing and rest.
Pools and Recreation Centres
For indoor pools, enclosure design has to be coordinated with ventilation and moisture control. Whakatane Pool Enclosure by Fabric Structures is a reference for enclosure design. The design team should assess condensation risk, corrosion exposure and access for cleaning and maintenance before fixing the envelope and its materials.
The category also covers recreation beyond swimming. Padel Court Installation by Eco Lawn is a reference for court-based activity, and the University of Auckland Recreation Centre - HIWA's Tensile X-Tend Mesh by SRS Group NZ Ltd is a reference for a recreation facility. For pools and recreation centres, identify equipment storage and the clearances each activity needs before setting room sizes.
How should pool plant capacity be set?
Base the design on pool volume, target water temperature and expected hours of operation. Allow space to service equipment and replace it without major building work.
What should be specified for wet-area finishes?
Confirm that floor finishes provide suitable slip resistance when wet and can withstand pool chemicals and regular cleaning. Check the requirements for each location with the product supplier.
What needs checking before upgrading an existing facility?
Survey the structure and building services against the proposed use before fixing the scope. Plan work around any required closures and identify which areas can remain operational.
