The new Hockessin Athletic Club was developed with a unique concept in mind. The owners wanted to move away from the traditional health club aquatic venue. They wanted something new that would set them apart and offer a real competitive advantage.

“We opened the Hockessin Athletic Club on June 10th, 2007 and have been very excited about the community’s response. The four pools under the OpenAire have been a major part of our success. Our members and especially their children rave about them and the outstanding environment that has been created. I’ve been told on many occasions that a visit to the club is like going on a cruise ship. I also like the fact that I don’t need lights during the day, and I won’t have to condition the OpenAire space until October or November which is a huge savings over a traditional indoor pool facility.” “We love our OpenAire!!!!”
Bob Carpenter, President, Hockessin Athletic Club, Hockessin, DE

 
  This 120 ft x 146 ft free-standing building features a maintenance-free, thermally-broken aluminum frame designed to L/180 deflection criteria. The retractable roof opens effortlessly with a push of a button. While just under 50% of the roof opens, sliding glass doors and large overhead doors open more than 50% of the sidewalls making it a virtual outdoor facility during the summer months and the next best thing during cooler weather. The ability to open the roof for much of the year also makes for savings on electricity, lighting and air conditioning. Closing the roof and doors during inclement weather and cold winter months allows uninterrupted, revenue producing, water park fun for the club’s clients.

The result is an extraordinary facility that combines
traditional aquatic elements with waterpark features an amazing all glazed building with a retractable roof. The Hockessin Athletic Club offers its clients the ability to come for a work out or to play in a bright airy environment that is sure to keep them coming back for more.
