Municipal Facility Retractable Roofs

No community is too small for a year-round aquatic center.

If you are looking for an indoor pool building that is open year round for programming, is on par with the construction cost of a concrete block facility to build and saves money to operate over the long term… you have come to the right place.

Did you know that, according to the World Waterpark Association, the development of aquatic centers and municipal waterparks is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water leisure industry in the United States, with new facilities attracting more than 500-750 guests daily?
Both financial and environmental efficiency is critical for the long-term success of a community aquatic venue, especially at this time when parks and recreation departments are working with tightened budgets.

Nationwide research shows that in the USA, “local parks and recreation spending decreased by 7.2% from 2003 to 2013.”

Length of stay, programming, accessibility, sustainability, increased memberships, improved partnerships are also critical to driving growth.

OpenAire has played a key role, in communities with populations of 6000 people and up. Let us help your community achieve their goals.

Examples of Municipal Facilities We've Built

Morrisville Aquatics & Fitness Center

This project includes a renovation of the existing outdoor pool and clubhouse. The new pool includes a retractable roof enclosure by OpenAire connected to the existing facility which is also undergoing renovation. The new natatorium is 100 ft wide and 120 ft long with 16 motorized opening roof panels. The new 12,000 sf Natatorium includes 2 new pools and water features.

Pocahontas Aquatic Center

The project features a 13,300 square foot retractable double-slope enclosure to house the Center’s two pools and other facilities, creating a unique, open environment that blends the indoors with the outdoors. The structure provides clear views of the town and skies, and features 18 operable sliding windows and 14 retractable roof sliders that let in the sunshine and breezes of warm days.

Lompoc Aquatic Center

The City of Lompoc California needed a year-round pool facility while minimizizing operating costs. OpenAire’s unique operable building system, utilizing a combination of glass, polycarbonate and standing seam roofing, was the solution they chose. OpenAire designed, manufactured and installed the primary building, 100’x270′; the smaller adjacent enclosure, 72’x50′; and the unique diamond shaped entry way.

Epic Waters Waterpark

For the city of Grand Prairie Texas, OpenAire designed and installed a massive 62,000 sf enclosure for a waterpark, which since opening in January 2018 has ranked top indoor park in Dallas, #2 in Texas and #5 in the USA, and just Won the 2018 World Waterpark Association’s Leading Edge Award, surpassing ALL client expectations.
