POMPANO BEACH COMMUNITY AQUATIC PARK
Pompano Beach, Florida

The City of Pompano Beach selected C3TS for this Community Aquatic Park project which involved the expansion of an outdated pool complex into a state-of-the-art competition aquatic facility.  A new 50-meter x 25-yard pool with integral dive well was constructed for competition swimming and diving.  The pool also has a shallower L-shaped section for water aerobics and learn to swim instruction.  The existing T-shaped pool was renovated to provide additional space for recreational and instructional activities.  A support building included restrooms, locker rooms, concession, lifeguard break room, ticketing window, office and equipment room.

JORGE MAS CANOSA COMMUNITY CENTER
Miami, Florida

Since this 7,000 square-foot building is the most prominent in a multi-use park, available space for its development was limited. The Community Center was placed at a slight angle within the property in order to accent its role as access point & edge of the park.

One of the client’s fundamental requirements for the Jorge Mas Canosa Community Center was to provide a unified structure which would serve as the entrance to the park and its activities within and beyond. A linear lobby open to both the front and rear was centrally positioned at the junction between the building’s different volumes. A clearstory, reflecting the open area of the lobby was provided to accent this central portion of the building. The lower enclosing wall around the building was the final program element. It created a semi-enclosed secure play court for the day care facility. Alignment, light & spacial volume play a prominent role to create form. In the evenings, when light emanates from within, the Jorge Mas Canosa Community Center can be observed from almost anywhere on the site, as well as the surrounding community.
