On Tuesday, March 22 residents are encouraged to attend a community forum on proposed enhancements to the Holmes Aquatic Center. The forum will be held at City Hall, 3800 University Blvd. from 5 to 7 p.m. The forum will include a short PowerPoint presentation from project architect Davis & Davis. That presentation will start at 5:30 p.m.

For the past year, the University Park City Council, committees, residents and architects have been involved in developing a pool master plan. The plan centers on making improvements to the existing buildings, examining how the facility is currently being used and exploring opportunities to expand recreational programs. A major component of the study involves improvements to the facility’s two existing support buildings. Both are in an advanced state of deterioration and in need of replacement.

Prior to the March 22 forum residents can weigh-in on various aspects of the project and view a PDF showing design elements using SpeakUP.  SpeakUP is an online portal the City will use to connect, communicate and collaborate with multiple audiences and stakeholders on projects and issues of community interest.
