B2Ai architects and VenhoevenCS won the competition for the design of the new municipal swimming pool in Lokeren. The design solves the puzzle of expansion and accessibility of the sports complex in Lokeren with one, clear intervention. With the new swimming pool we accentuate the sports center in the Sportlaan. Sports become visible; anyone who sees sports, wants to do sports. The new swimming pool connects seamlessly with its environment and the existing context and provides barrier-free access for everyone. We plan to cleverly reconcile the swimming pool, the existing sports halls, the youth center, the sports services, outdoor sports and social support and create a thriving sports meeting cluster. The team, consisting of Pellikaan, B2Ai architects, VenhoevenCS, Boydens and Sweco, will ensure that the site becomes a healthy and sporty meeting place in the heart of Lokeren.
