All Seasons Center
Sioux City, IA
AKA assisted the City of Sioux Center, its school district,
and Dordt College in forming a strategic partnership. The
AKA team guided the partners through an intensive feasibility
study process, which led to a successful fundraising campaign
that included local participation, a state grant and a bond
referendum. Upon completion of the fundraising, AKA provided
comprehensive design and engineering services working with
local consultants and contractors to complete the building.
All
Seasons Center includes a competition lap
pool, indoor and outdoor leisure pools, two water slides,
an NHL-size ice sheet with seating for 600 spectators, a senior
center, and other community spaces.
A large
sunlit lobby provides a community gathering space and social
space for adults watching the children play in the aquatics
area. The indoor pool space opens to the outdoor aquatics
area to the west with extensive southern glazing to warm the
pool space. North facing windows in the ice arena provide
indirect light without a distracting glare.
