Milton Hershey School Outdoor Aquatic Facility – Blending Competition & Recreation

Innovative Design & Thoughtful Integration with Campus Aesthetics

The architecture of the bathhouse and activity pavilion was carefully designed to complement the surrounding campus, incorporating elements that match the adjacent skating pavilion. The facility’s strategic layout maximizes topography, with the mechanical room hidden beneath the deck level to preserve aesthetics while ensuring efficient operation.

Additionally, the activity pavilion serves as a viewing platform for the neighboring baseball field, further enhancing the multi-purpose functionality of the site.
