The low-lying form of the new pool building respects the panoramic views enjoyed by nearby residents


lighting minimises glare and reflection off the pool surface. High bay lighting along the perimeter of the pool and above the pool deck between pools facilitates easy maintenance. As a public swimming pool, KTSP complies


with accessibility guidelines. A number of ramps, lifts, tactile paths and signage, accessible toilets and changing rooms assist persons in need to freely move in and out of the facilities. The new Kennedy Town Swimming Pool has

view of Victoria Harbour while shielding swimmers from the noise of the main bus and tram route to the east. Natural zinc’s self- healing properties and ability to return to its ultimate patina was appropriate for a building constructed in two phases with a six year gap. The workability and installation of zinc using a traditional standing seam method allowed the complex surface geometry to be refined and made watertight on site. Light weight, long spans, transparency,


natural light and excellent performance against solar gain were key criteria in the selection of materials for window walls and the roof over the indoor pool. Laminated glass with a high performance PVB layer was selected for the window walls while insulated PTFE membrane was used for the roof light, flooding the indoor pool hall with natural light. Ultimately, the latest version of insulated PTFE membrane which demonstrated better thermal and acoustics values prevailed. While views to the sky was given up in the process, abundant


natural light fills the indoor pool hall. Operable windows allow natural ventilation as well as solar collectors. Air conditioning to the venue is limited to


the crush hall, management office, first aid room and lifeguard staff rooms. Pre-treated air was provided in the indoor pool hall to maintain an indoor temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. During cooler and dryer winter seasons, natural ventilation to the hall is achieved with the motorized windows on all four sides of the hall. Mechanical ventilation operates in other areas such as sanitary facilities and changing rooms. Indoor pool


The International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities (IAKS) was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1965. It is the only non-profit organization concerned globally with the subject of sports and leisure facility development and has been awarded the status of a Recognized Organization by the IOC. The IAKS makes up a global network of first-hand expertise for design, construction and


management of sports and leisure facilities. The IAKS regularly holds specialized conferences and educational seminars. Since 1967, IAKS has been publishing “sb”, the world’s foremost specialist magazine for sports architecture and the construction, modernization and management of sports and leisure facilities.
