Just saw the architect’s renderings for the new swimming pool at Rowland High School. The new facility will be awesome. The school board saw the drawings at Tuesday’s meeting.

The entry courtyard is a visual treat with palm trees and circular courts. With construction bids running up to 10 percent lower than expected, the district hopes to add two more swimming lanes, bringing the total to an even dozen.

New changing rooms, covered bleachers and equipment areas will make for a great athletic addition to the local high school. The high school’s pool was closed last year when school officials discovered how much it would cost to fix.

Looks like the wait will be worth it for the Raiders. Trying to get digital copies now.
