Miller & Associates worked with the City of Grant to assess and modernize its municipal swimming pool facility, addressing aging infrastructure, ADA compliance needs, and operational challenges. The project began with a comprehensive evaluation of the existing pool, bathhouse, and supporting systems, including structural components, mechanical and electrical equipment, and site features. This assessment, combined with prior studies, informed a range of improvement alternatives supported by cost estimates.
Through a collaborative planning process with the Park and Recreation Board and Swimming Pool Committee, our team developed conceptual layouts that prioritized safety, functionality, and long-term sustainability. A key design consideration was operational efficiency, with the facility configured to allow safe supervision with a limited number of lifeguards. Supporting materials included conceptual site plans, bathhouse layouts, mechanical room configurations, and potential enhancements such as a zero-depth entry feature.
After the selection of the preferred alternative, Miller & Associates advanced the project through final design, preparation of construction documents, and bidding support. During construction, our team provided coordination, observation, and review services to help ensure the project was completed in accordance with the design intent. Services extended beyond completion to include a post-construction warranty inspection.
Completed in 2021, the new Grant Swimming Pool Facility provides a safe, accessible, and efficient aquatics environment that supports long-term community use and recreation.
