As you can see from the below image, the utilities include a large poured-in-place concrete steam tunnel that runs diagonally below the existing basketball court; underground stormwater lines located west of the basketball court; an underground electrical line that runs within the northern part of the basketball court; a communication line/cable that runs adjacent to the steam line tunnel; and a 5’ x 5’ box stormwater culvert that runs diagonally from north to south and passes between Building #16 and the court.
The pool construction would require significant excavation and reinforcement, specifically for the steam tunnel. It would also require some operationally disruptive utility relocations as well as potential impacts to accessing and servicing the remaining utilities. Due to the above challenges, the project was determined to be less than ideal at this location.
