2 What We Will Be Presenting Today Summary of input gained through the February 2018 public engagement and online survey. Revised site and building configuration based on input received and ongoing consultation with stakeholders and City staff.

3 What We Would Like to Hear From You Today Do refinements made to the design improve or match the specific needs of the group you represent? Are there additional items that we should consider as we continue to refine the design? Please provide feedback at the indicated locations on the presentation boards

4 Project History and Timeline

5 Input from Public Survey

6 Six Aquatic Priorities Fitness Leisure Lessons Social Sport & Training Therapy & Rehabilitation

7 Input from Public Engagement Q: Rank the value of each priority from 1(low) to 5(high)

8 Input from Public Engagement Q: Types of activities in multi-purpose rooms

9 Design Considerations

10 Critical Design Considerations Enhance barrier free access for a range of abilities Enhance inclusivity Maximize retention of existing trees Enhance the experience of swimming in the trees Enhance the approach and entry experience to the building Flexible aquatic and dry land programming Low carbon building operation Efficient mechanical systems that provide good air and water quality High performance building envelope

11 Existing Facility

12 Location of New Facility Highlights No shutdown period during construction Existing sport courts and play features to be considered in future park plan

13 Future Park Plan Highlights Building location maximizes open space available for future park Input for future park plan is being gathered in parallel with the building design process

14 Relationship to Existing Trees Highlights The building is shaped by the space between existing trees and retains most of them The experience of swimming in the park is enhanced Opportunity for increased planting in future park plan

15 Building Organization Highlights Natatorium situated between the existing groves of trees Dry land programs situated to the west along Quadra Street

16 Building Concept Highlights Views to existing trees and new park space are central to the building configuration Natatorium opens up to the park on three sides to enhance the experience of swimming in the park Eyes on the street from the upper level

17 Building Roof Highlights Roof unites dry land and aquatic spaces Opportunities for natural light from above

18 Building Orientation Highlights Natatorium gets diffused north light Existing trees provide shading along south and east

19 Urban Connections Highlights Entry is located closer to parking and connected to Quadra Pembroke street intersection with a protected plaza Drop off and accessible parking incorporated within the parking lot New traffic control at Quadra & Pembroke intersection Connect to cycling route through park

20 Building and Site Design

21 Site

22 Building - Street Level

23 Building - Upper Level

24 Major Program Elements

25 Natatorium Highlights Multiple options for access to all bodies of water that cater to a range of abilities 50m Pool with movable floor and two bulkheads for maximum flexibility Enlarged warm water leisure pool with 25m lanes Two hot tubs with water at different temperatures

26 Evolution of Pool Tanks 2017 Conceptual Design Revised Design

27 Advantages of Revised Pool Configuration Movable floor and bulkheads maximize programming flexibility More warm water available for leisure, lessons and therapy 25m lanes in leisure pool reduce program overlap and increase availability of the main pool tank The two hot pools can be kept at different temperatures to cater to different users Change in size of the main pool tank allows it to be moved to other locations on the site and reduces tree loss
