Delnorte Sports & Wellness Center, Albuquerque,
NM
The pool enclosure was an addition to an existing
structure that was unable to support the load that would have been
exerted on it by the OpenAire building. OpenAire solved this problem
by installing columns along the back wall (the high wall) of the
enclosure, making it self supporting.
This single slope pool enclosure spans 48' for roughly
half of its 90' (11 Bay) length and then bumps out to a span of 53' for
the rest of the building. The roof is glazed with clear 1"
polycarbonate. the partial end walls by OpenAire and the front wall are
glazed with 1" insulating glass with sliding glass doors.
