New Carmel Natatorium Featured in Indy Star
By Zachary Sprunger
The new Carmel High School natatorium was featured in the Indianapolis Star. As the designers for the state-of-the-art facility, the Fanning Howey team loves hearing how the project is serving the Carmel swim community.
Some highlights from the article that we loved hearing:
- Carmel athletic director Jim Inskeep praising design features that improve performance for Carmel’s swimmers and swim families.
- Carmel High School senior and Olympic medalist Alex Shackell praising the intentionality of the design, saying “It’s like, every little thing they put a lot of thought into. You can tell.”
- Carmel swim coach Chris Plumb sharing that his favorite design detail is the floor-to-ceiling windows that, during one practice, made the pool look like a Pinterest picture.
It’s comments like these that align with our goal of designing for smarter, happier learners, more successful educators and stronger communities.
