Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center

The Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center features modern design and holds a 50 meter pool. Some modern design features include a “breaking wave” roof and has waves of glass hanging in the lobby. This structure cost over 19 million to construct and covers over 50,000 sq ft and completed in 2011. The Aquatic Centre has received various rewards which include the AIA honor award, Outstanding Design-Sports Stadium/Athletic Facilities, and the Outstanding Design-Work in progress. Those who use this facility include students, master-swimmers, and others in the community. This building/facility is massive and many schools, swimmers, and individuals dream of having/using a facility like this.

This building had a positive influence on me as I was on the swim team at Jenks. The first time I walked through the doors I knew that this facility was one-of-a-kind and housed greatness. I was surprised that the school decided to have it built because it is very expensive to maintain. The outside and the inside of the building made the students and community proud to have it to serve as a monumental building on the campus and in the city. Not only did it serve as a practice facility, but it also held many regional, state, and local events and swim meets.
