Minoru Aquatic

A key component to the City of Richmond’s development of a multi-purpose complex featuring sport, recreation and wellness facilities, the new Minoru Aquatic and Older Adults Centre will replace the existing Aquatic Centre, the Minoru Place Seniors Centre and the Minoru Pavilion. Richmond is home to Canada’s longest average lifespans, and its aquatic centres and pools are among the city’s most popular recreational facilities, with more than 900,000 average annual visitors combined.

With parts of Minoru Aquatic Centre dating back to the 1950’s and lacking many amenities that are commonly expected in a modern facilities, this development is designed to meet the needs of the older adult population one of the most rapidly growing age segments within Richmond. Designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, this new facility will house a 6,300 square meter aquatic centre, 3,100 square meter older adults’ centre and a multipurpose centre.

AES’s design services include power distribution, lighting and controls, and systems for life safety, communication and security.
