Penticton Community Centre Penticton, B.C.   The 6,500 sqm LEED Silver targeted project involved an upgrade and expansion of the aquatic and recreation facilities, which included construction of a 10-lane, 25 meter square lap pool, a separate warmer pool, a ‘lazy river’, shallow lanes for younger novice swimmers or seniors who require a warmer water environment; a ‘bubble pit’; a gradual ramped entrance; a tot and parent slide; and several spray features such as ‘water column’ and ‘water orchard’ components.  There will also be a new waterslide installed at the south end of the building to replace the existing one.  One of the objectives is to design an energy efficient building that helps meet the BC Climate Action Charter goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2012.  The mechanical design includes upgraded HVAC equipment, high efficiency boilers and other additional leading technology.  Architect:   Bruce Carscadden Architect                   Meiklejohn Architects
