Building on a legacy of proud Olympians, world records and 155 national titles, SMU broke ground on a new Aquatics Center on February 26, 2016. The 42,000 square foot center will be home to SMU’s internationally recognized men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. Located on the University’s growing east campus, the center will provide facilities for practice, competition and community use. The Aquatics Center will feature an Olympic-sized, eight-lane indoor pool with a diving platform, including four springboards and a 10-meter tower for training and competition. All offices, locker rooms, classroom and meeting areas will be located adjacent to the pool. The center will offer seating for 800 spectators in the mezzanine level.

Rmax Thermasheath-3 was selected to provide the continuous insulation over the CMU block and stud wall areas due to its ability to provide a high R-value per inch. Rmax was able to produce the Thermasheath-3 with special 16”x8’ cut boards, so it could easily fit between the brick ties for fast and efficient installation.

Rmax Thermasheath®-3 is a cost effective way to increase a building’s thermal efficiency with one of the thinnest profiles available on the market today. It is also lightweight and easy to install - delivering optimal flexibility in design and efficiency.
