Crafting Aquatic Experiences that Elevate Communities
At Elevatus, we are Designed To Do More. We design aquatic centers that go beyond functionality, creating spaces that inspire, uplift, and serve. From competitive natatoriums to community leisure pools, our tailored, client-focused approach ensures every project meets the unique vision of the community. We deliver long-term value through thoughtful design, innovation, and sustainability—transforming every aquatic center into a vibrant hub that serves all users, now and in the future.
Our Commitment to Natatorial Excellence
Collaboration is at the heart of our aquatic center designs, ensuring every space reflects the community’s vision and serves diverse needs. From concept to completion, we engage stakeholders and embrace innovative solutions to deliver functional, inspiring, and sustainable environments.
Our approach includes deep engagement with local institutions, swim teams, therapists, and first responders, ensuring all needs—facility use, security, and operational expenses—are addressed. We guide discussions on deferred maintenance and help create justification documents for grants and donors.
We partner with expert pool design consultants to optimize air quality, energy efficiency, and system performance. The natatorium envelope is designed with durability and minimal maintenance in mind, while our MEP consultants integrate advanced lighting, climate control, and dehumidification systems for ultimate comfort and efficiency.
From locker room design to acoustics, we ensure every detail enhances safety, inclusivity, and accessibility. Postconstruction, we continue to evaluate operational costs and lessons learned, ensuring long-term value and sustainability for each aquatic center.
