Design and Pre-Construction Phase
The Superior North Pool was constructed over 30 years ago as part of Superior Metropolitan Districts 2&3 and was assumed as a Town asset in 2004. This 165,000 gallon, 8-lane community pool is a popular amenity for Superior residents offering general open swimming, swim lessons, swim team, and various aquatic programs and events each summer.
A full renovation of North Pool is recommended to effectively address the operation and safety needs, and to introduce more efficient mechanical and sanitation systems with sustainability goals in mind. While conducting this renovation, there are opportunities to update the bathhouse restrooms, showers, kitchen, storage, and guard areas to meet current demand. Barker, Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS) was selected to conduct public engagement, facility assessments, and the North Pool design.
September 2025 Update: As the North Pool design was nearly finished this summer, the Town received construction pricing and an updated schedule from the construction manager A.D. Miller as part of their pre-construction duties. The update made clear the project was over budget (due largely to unforeseen foundation costs for the new mechanical building) and long lead times for equipment posed a significant risk that the pool would not reopen on time for the 2026 swim season should construction begin in September 2025 as originally planned.
Town Council and staff recommended putting off construction until after the 2026 swim season. This new schedule – September 2026 to May 2027 – will allow for more time to value engineer the design to align with the budget, a more competitive bidding process in the spring, and more schedule certainty as we will have a general contractor earlier in the year to begin procuring long lead items.
