About the Facility
Located in downtown Atlanta, on the campus of Georgia Tech, the Campus Recreation Center which houses the GT Aquatic
Center, underwent a 45 million dollar renovation, expansion and new construction project re-opening in August, 2004. The
GT Aquatic Center has three pools—50 m x 25 m competition pool, 25 yd. diving well with full towers and 5-1m and 3-3m
spring-boards, and a separate recreational pool with an indoor water slide. The facility also seats 1950 spectators in individual
chair-back seats. The Aquatic Center was the site of the 1996 Olym-pic Aquatic events where 4 world records were broken,
and the campus also served as the Olympic Village and Boxing venue during the Games. Most recently the 2006 Men’s
NCAA Swim-ming and Diving championships were held at the facility where records were broken every night. Photos and
additional infor-mation can be found at: campusrecreation.gatech.edu
