Shawnee West Aquatic Facility Shawnee, Kansas 2003 Recreation Management Innovative Architecture & Design Award Richard Scott AIA, as Vice President of WTI, provided aquatic design services to Yarger for the feasibility study, concept design study, and master plan to evaluate the potential of renovating Shawnee’s two existing outdoor aquatic pools. The study resulted in the City Council’s decision to renovate Shawnee West’s 50 meter pool and expand the venue with a new lazy river, waterslides and kid’s pool. The award winning design has proved very popular with community residents. Yarger and Scott designed the new facility, which included renovation of the 50M pool and bathhouse, expansion of the filter room and new leisure and kid’s pools. Attendance grew from 28,000 to 120,000. The same team of Yarger and Richard Scott AIA was contracted to develop the second of Shawnee’s three planned aquatic facilities. The Shawnee East pool opened in May 2007 with a leisure pool and children's wave pool.   Neil Holman, P&R Director   PHONE: 913-631-5200   CELL: 913-238-5276
