McCarren Pool, 2007
McCarren Pool, 1936
|
The
New York City Department of Parks and Recreation selected Rogers Marvel
to renovate McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, New York. Constructed as
part of a WPA program and opened in 1936 by Parks Commissioner
Robert Moses, the facility will be returned to active use as an outdoor
swimming pool and year-round community facility.
Places for lap swimming, a gradually sloped play area, and general swim
area are incorporated into the reconfigured pool’s shape. Outdoor
changing pavilions and lockers will be constructed adjacent to the
original building. The restored bathhouse will contain a
year-round community facility.
The building is targeting LEED Silver Certification with the United
States Green Building Council and will be a participant in the New York
City Percent for Art program.
Scott Demel is Project Architect for this project at Rogers Marvel Architects, currently in the Construction Documents phase.
