| Description: |
The new, world-class Pentagon Athletic Center (PAC) replaces the outdated, 55-year-old athletic facility with a larger, modern facility. The building includes enhanced programming spaces necessary to meet the fitness and readiness needs of its current military and civilian membership, as well as the projected membership growth for the coming years.
The PAC, designed by HNTB, incorporated sustainable concepts in its design and construction. The design not only helps to create a functional, durable, maintainable, flexible, and safe facility, it also contributes to a healthy indoor environment and enhanced productivity. The project utilized the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) to track building performance and progress toward achieving environment-friendly, sustainable goals.
Counsilman-Hunsaker was retained to help design the facility’s natatorium. Amenities include:
• Six-lane, 25-meter competition pool with recessed stairs
• Two oversized whirlpool spas
• Energy-efficient filtration systems
• Energy mechanical systems
• Specialized light wells to add extra sunlight
