AFC Construction Updates

Progress has been made on the men’s locker room repair. The underlying pipe and drain work is complete, and final repairs of the floor are impending. We currently anticipate being able to safely reopen the men’s locker room to patrons no later than Friday, September 29. Completion of this project will rectify persistent drainage issues in and around the showers.

The men’s and women’s locker rooms will undergo a brief closure to complete the resurfacing of the floor in both spaces. Work is scheduled to begin Friday, October 6 with an expected completion date of Monday, October 9.

Work to replace the skylights in the Competition Pool began this week. Skylight work will begin in the Recreation Pool Monday, October 2 with an expected completion date of Monday, October 16. The Recreation Pool will be closed during this time due to allow construction to take place. Additional open swim will be offered in the Competition Pool to compensate for lanes lost in the Recreation Pool.

Painting of the Competition Pool has been completed, transitioning the space from a muted beige color to a brighter white.

A new scoreboard has been installed in the Competition Pool. This scoreboard will amplify the athlete and spectator experience at swim meets hosted at the AFC.

Progress is being made. The floating dance floor (staging hanging from the rafters to install skylights, paint, and lighting) is completed. This will allow for work to continue on the ceiling while still having the comp pool open.

Painting the entire area has begun. It will be so much brighter in there with the new LED lights with white walls.

The women’s locker room is now reopened for use. However, there has been an issue with the men’s locker room, and the timeline for its reopening is currently to be determined.

As shown in the attached image, there is a persisting pipe issue within the Men’s locker room.

The comp pool is still on schedule to open the first week of September. We will post signs when we have a definitive date.

We appreciate your patience as we progress through this project. It will be so nice when it is completed.

The AFC is undergoing a major capital project to address ongoing issues and replacing outdated systems and equipment. The project will be completed in phases which will include new lights, skylights, glass panels, paint, pool interior, bulkheads, HVAC, elevator, fire alarm panel, and repairing of the drain lines in the men’s and women’s showers.  

The initial work is to install a floating dance floor from the ceiling in which the work can be done for the skylights, lights, and painting. All safety measures are in place to prevent any construction debris from falling off the dance floor onto the pool deck or into the pool. Once this is in place the competition pool will be reopened.  

The locker room repairs will be done this summer with the goal of the showers reopening by mid-August.  

Mason Recreation appreciates your patience and understanding as we navigate through this project. Our goal is to have a facility that is safe and at the same time, provides our patrons a positive experience.
