As part of the University of Pittsburgh’s new 25,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center, Myrtha Pools has delivered and installed an elevated, NCAA-compliant 25-yard pool across the 4th and 5th floors of the building.
Myrtha’s precision-engineered stainless steel and modular construction ensured the structural reliability required for an elevated installation of this scale. This multipurpose pool includes five swimming lanes and a leisure area equipped with Myrtha Soft Floor and anti-slip membrane for shallow zones. With bench seating and an accessible ramp, the pool also benefits from Myrtha White, enhancing water clarity and hygienic performance. Next to the main pool, Myrtha built a dedicated spa pool finished in mosaic with hydromassage, offering a warm, calming contrast to the dynamic training environment.
This ambitious project supports Pitt’s vision for student wellbeing by bringing fitness, mental health, and recreation together within a single multi-level destination. In partnership with industry leader, including Moody Nolan and IKM, aquatic consultant Counsilman-Hunsaker, GC teams Barton Marlow / Mascaro, and Myrtha Dealer DWR Aquatics, the university has created a transformative facility that reflects both modern campus life and Myrtha’s dedication to technical excellence.
The new aquatic center stands as a testament to innovative design, engineering expertise, and Pitt’s commitment to a healthier, more active student community.
