Project Summary & Public Benefits
The safety of our patrons is one of THPRD's highest concerns. That's why passage of the 2008 bond measure was so important - it allowed the district to attend to important maintenance work and structural upgrades at a number of buildings.
The Sunset Swim Center was one of several THPRD facilities that needed structural improvements to make it safer in the event of an earthquake.
Seismic work at the Sunset Swim Center included reconstructing some of the internal walls and replacing a section of the roof. Exterior windows were added, as was a vestibule at the pool’s entry.
Project Budget
$625,225
