Ron Witherspoon, AIA

• Architect at D/P/S

• Experience with pools and natatoriums

• On-call contracts with Albuquerque & Rio Rancho

• New pools in Gallup, Rio Rancho, and Belen

• Aquatic assessment in Farmington

This presentation is about natatorium design, wellness, and systems that work well over time.

WELLNESS

• Evidence-based health and wellness research by medical professionals, scientists, and researchers

• People spending 90% of their time indoors

• Applications of universal design

• Limiting physical stress

• Opportunities for safe fitness

• Improve breathing

• Promotion of proper light exposure

• Alignment of circadian rhythm

• Adequate sound promotion and barriers

Create Proper Relationships• Isolate hazardous areas

• Separate office and lockers from pool

• Keep spectators off pool deck

• Circulate bathers through showers

DESIGN

Complement Other Site Amenities• Identify the mechanical zone

• Adequate area for drop-off

• Solar orientation and glazing

• Play off existing site features

DESIGN

Lay Out Pool Deck Carefully Based of Uses • Safe Exiting

• Proper places for life guards

• Places for timing equipment

• Spectator zones

• Competition zones

• Queuing areas for recreational users

DESIGN

Create Building Zones Based on the Site• Keep spectators

towards the entry

• Identify the back-of-house area

• Keep pool enclosure open

DESIGN

Separate Chemicals Rooms • Direct seat-side access

• Limited access to public area

• Adjacent to mechanical rooms

• Vented and exhausted to outside

Water Temperatures are Critical• More activity = greater air

circulation

• Building HVAC zones for air temperature

Pool Chemistry is Key• Water Quality

• Water Chemistry

• Dehumidification

• Air Circulation

THERMAL

Off-gassed choloramines have a strong attraction to the airborne humidity.

Chloramines = Corrosive Condensate

CORROSION& THE IAQ PROBLEM

Use Simple Structural Systems• Less surface area

• Avoid shelves

• Simple geometry and connections

• Pre-finished materials

CORROSION

Use the Right Materials• Avoid specifying stainless steel for ductwork,

use non-corrosive duct material

• Galvanized steel

• Aluminum

• Fabric

• Avoid using stainless steel in applications deemed ‘safety-critical’ or where components will not be frequently wetted or cleaned

CORROSION

Use the Right Finishes• Use galvanized steel

• High grade paint systems

• Vinyl

• Plastics

ILLUSIONSLINEAR LUMINOUS LIGHTING

Maintenance• Easy to change lamps

• Even lighting across the water (Provide diffuse lighting to avoid glare)

LIGHTING

Good lighting provides a safe environment

LIGHTING

Even Lighting• Provide regularly spaced lighting with

heavier FC output

• Dual switching ability for energy savings

• Less glare for safety

LIGHTING

Daylighting• Avoid clear glass to the outside

• Use diffuse glazing for natural light

• Consider light shelves

Reflectivity• Use reflective surfaces

• Use light colors

• Higher lighting around decks

ACOUSTICAL BAFFLE & WALL PANEL SYSTEMS

205 Earl RoadShorewood, IL 60434

Website: www.cmainc.net

These two most popular CMA Acoustical

Systems compliment each other for applications

in the same environments, namely schools, gyms,

swimming pools and industrial workplaces.

Baffles may be hung vertically in a variety of

designs or hung horizontally - clouds. CMA

Baffle Systems provide the most sound

absorption per unit because they are

effective in absorption from all sides.

Acoustical performance is usually pub-

lished in sabins per unit.

Baffles are available as a standard in

three different facings. The most popular

encapsulation material is nylon sailcloth

for a softer, fabric look without the fabric

price. A new trend in application for

baffles are in restaurants with exposed

structures in order to reduce the rever-

beration time.

2

CMA usually recommends that Baffles and Wall

Panels be installed in a space in equal quantities

of sabins (sound absorption per square foot).

The popularity of CMA Wall Panels and Baffle

Systems lies in the ease of installation. Wall

Panels are generally hung from the wall sur-

face from hooks at the top through grom-

mets in the Panel. We further suggest the

mounting “B” installation for a cleaner

smooth facing. Complete hanging details,

suggested layouts, as well as hardware

for installations are available from CMA,

or in our architectural binder.

CMA provides Baffles and Wall Panels

that are the lowest cost finished prod-

ucts specifically designed for acoustics.

Budget material and installed costs

are available upon request from your

CMA Sales Representative.

Complete stainless steel hardware is available for damp and moist areas such as swimming pools or food processing plants, and should be specified.

Hardware Note: Although CMA baffles are very light weight, the hanging cable may sagunder the baffles weight depending on the size, thickness and density of the baffles.Consult CMA for specific recommendations for vertical supports and spacing.
