The Adelaide Aquatic Centre is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025 and aims to set new standards for sustainable leisure and sports facilities in Australia. 
  
The Aquatic Centre will offer a wide range of facilities, including a 50-metre indoor pool, a 25-metre outdoor pool, rehabilitation pools, play areas and fitness and wellness zones. Accessibility and inclusion are at the centre of the design. The project not only impresses with its comprehensive range of facilities for end users, but also with its innovative design and use of sustainable materials. 
 
Wood was chosen as the building material for the supporting structure, with a total of approx. 324 m³ of glulam, 108 m³ of cross laminated timber (CLT) and around 3,130 m² of prefabricated acoustic ceiling modules being used. The timber components were delivered by special transport from the HASSLACHER group's production facility in Hermagor to the harbour in Zeebrugge. The glulam components, which are up to 37 metres long, were then loaded onto RoRo (Roll-on/roll-off vessel) ships and were shipped to Melbourne, Victoria. The timber components are currently being assembled on site in Adelaide by Standstruct.
