The main feature of the natatorium is its prefabricated wood truss system, generated from the City’s ‘Wood First Policy’ initiative. Revery’s team worked closely with the design-builder to develop a pre-assembled truss fully integrated with lighting, mechanical services and acoustic absorption. The wood trusses were prefabricated and installed with the services in place, allowing rapid on-site assembly in 10 days with no scaffolding. The wood trusses have many benefits, among them corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and being a material that is renewable and sequesters carbon.
