Pechanga Recreation Center

89,000 SF

Designed specifically for the tribal members, the recreation center design includes support for youth programs and facilities for the elderly. The 8-lane competition swimming pool with built-in spectator seating, wading pool and spa features a “beach entry” to provide easy access to the pool. Two exterior lounge areas with fireplaces encourage community interaction.

The building style features modern geometric forms of architectural precision block, plaster and glass that blend well with the surrounding area. Sustainable design aspects include solar hot water for the pools, room occupancy sensors, high efficiency glass with shading, and white reflective roofing. Designed as an essential services building, the Recreation Center houses and protects the Pechanga tribal in time of need.
