Engineering a Vertical Icon
Prefabrication is at the heart of a first-of-its-kind 27-meter “total precast” dive tower at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center. Designed by Justin Architects, Engineer of Record Louis Berger, and constructed by Hensel Phelps, the 101’-1” tall structure was prefabricated with very tight tolerances and features high-end architectural elements and finishes.
The Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center has a deep history in the swimming world, with several Olympians passing through its lanes and 10 world records set at the facility. It was also the first Olympic-size swimming pool to be constructed in Florida.
