摘要

Completed in April 2008, the Sunderland Aquatic Center in Sunderland, England, is home to northeast England's first and only Olympic-sized pool. The aquatic center features a 10-lane, 164- by 82-foot (50-by 25-m) competition swimming pool with seating for more than 750 spectators; 82-foot diving pool with diving boards of various heights; and Wellness Center. The long, flattened tubular-shaped aquatic center is clad in more than 64,500 square feet (5,992 m~2) of 65/500 straight aluminum standing-seam panels from Kalzip, Michigan City, Ind., in addition to a selection of Kalzip fabrications.
