Arbor Acres Fitness Center Addition/Expansion

Originally constructed only as an indoor pool, this area no longer met the expanded concepts of wellness for the senior adults in this large continuing care retirement community.  


The entrance for the new facility presented a dual opportunity to provide a new identity for the expanded wellness center as well as an entrance lobby for the newly renovated residential building adjacent. 


The existing pool was removed and replaced with three specific use pools:  a 2-lane lap pool, a warmer exercise pool, and a high-temperature jetted spa. Locker rooms were fully renovated and enhanced with additional showers.  


The expansion aldo provided space for a full cardio and resistance weight workout area, adjacent to a multipurpose room for fitness classes. A 1/20th of a mile track encircles these two areas.
