•Innovative indoor ADA-accessible leisure pool
•Current channel

•Haystack, small inlet allowing swimmers to surround themselves around hydrotherapy jets
•Open swim area
•High-tech underwater sound system with drop-down screens for viewing movies or Mizzou sporting events

•Outdoor leisure pool with ramp entry and bench seating
•Olympic-sized 50-meter by 25-yard pool with warm-water whirlpool spa
•Two moveable bulkheads and moveable floor
•Separate diving well with 10-meter diving tower and four springboards
This facility, the largest recreation center ever built in the history of Missouri’s higher education, has been recognized in several industry publications and won multiple design awards.
