Gene Fullmer Recreation Center - West Jordan City, Utah

Architectural Nexus designed this multi-use recreation center containing two basketball courts, aerobic rooms, gymnasium, and natatorium with a 6 lane, 25 yard lap pool including multi-water toy leisure pool and a 3-loop water slide.

Included in the design is a connected, but separate Senior Citizen Center with four multi-purpose rooms, a pool room, computer center and kitchen facilities as well as a licensed daycare center that is associated with the recreation center and includes a "tot-lock" fenced area where the children can play safely outside. Special attention was given to the programming and design of the facility to accommodate the different needs of the user groups that would frequent the facility. Senior citizens, adults, and children would all use the facility in a different capacity. Pedestrian flow through the facility and space adjacencies were thoroughly thought out and designed for both the senior center and the recreation center.

The Gene Fullmer Recreation and Senior Center received the Excellence in Masonry - Design Award from the Utah Masonry Council in 2002.
