Scope Of Work
The Buchanan Natatorium project, built for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, included the demolition and renovation of a 798,000-gallon indoor competitive pool located in Las Vegas, NV. The facility houses the university's pool facility, which was designed for competitive aquatic sports. The competitive pool renovation consisted of steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete with an epoxy and acrylic deck coating and stainless steel moveable bulkhead and an upgraded drainage and plumbing system. The project also involved increasing the shallow end depth from four feet to eight feet allowing simultaneous events, eight sixty metered swim lanes, two one-meter and two three-meter diving boards for men's and women's diving competitions, and seating for 1,200 spectators. The Buchanan Natatorium project transformed a 30-year-old pool into a highly competitive facility for use by student athletes and Olympians.
