Shawnee Mission (Kan.) district ready to build $27.8 million aquatic center

Sept. 26, 2017
Board approves contract for facility that will be built in Lenexa, Kan.

The Shawnee Mission (Kan.) school district is scheduled to begin construction next month on a $27.8 million aquatic center in Lenexa.

School board members approved construction contracts Monday night for the aquatic center and a parking garage. Construction is expected to begin on the aquatics facility in late October.

The district says the center will include a 50-meter competition pool with diving wells and a 25-yard pool that will be used for a variety of aquatics activities. 

It also will have seating for viewing aquatics competitions, locker rooms, a concession stand and a dry-land training area.   

The facility is being built in partnership with the City of Lenexa. Funding for the project comes from a $223 million bond issue approved by voters in 2015.  

The architect is ACI Boland and the construction manager is JE Dunn Construction.
