North Charleston Aquatic Center

GF provided architectural services for the 45,000 SF aquatic center, which features both a 25-meter therapeutic warm water pool with an accessible ramp entry and a 50-meter, 10-lane Olympic competition pool. This design allowed the City to host larger swim meets, with the flexibility to divide the 10-lane pool into two 25-meter pools using a bulkhead. The retractable spectator seating accommodates 1,000, offering additional deck space when necessary.

Additional amenities included concessions, a pro shop, locker rooms, and classrooms, as well as office and meeting spaces to support the facility’s operations. The center’s design optimizes both accessibility and functionality, serving as a community hub for recreational and competitive swimming events.
