Ruth Everess Aquatic Centre, 2016
Located in Lidcombe, New South Wales, and completed in 2016, the 1959 Ruth Everess Aquatic Centre redevelopment was a challenging design that involved the retention of significant heritage fabric. The outdoor amenities include 50m and 25m lap pools, a Leisure pool with beach entry, an interactive water play area, and an extensive surrounding concourse. Supporting a sense of community, this facility provides a gathering place for all families, with integrated concrete seating and shades as well as adjoining landscaping that provides natural shade for the grass areas so families can relax poolside.
