Behind the Design Video Series: Kalamazoo College Natatorium Ft. Tony Reiner

The new natatorium serves both the men’s and women’s swim teams as well as the local community. In addition to the College’s athletics events, the natatorium hosts local clubs and high school teams; open swimming for students, faculty and staff; and the local community.

Kalamazoo College’s natatorium features an NCAA competition-compliant pool with wet offices and classrooms, spectator viewing areas and locker rooms. The 35,000-square-foot, two-story facility features eight competition lanes, a separate diving area with 1-meter and 3-meter boards, on-deck seating for athletes, a dryland training room, an office suite for coaches and meet management, a high-quality timing system and large scoreboard, varsity team locker rooms for swimmers and divers, a display space of awards in the lobby and LEED sustainable features and design elements.

Kalamazoo College's previous natatorium had been home for the College’s swimming and diving teams for five decades, so it was time for a new Natatorium. SEE INSIDE.
