After working with City of Portland to complete emergency repairs to Buckman Pool, ORB Architects, now part of INNOVA Architects, was selected to perform various upgrades to five other Portland pools: Matt Dishman Community Center Pool, Mount Scott Community Center Pool, Southwest Community Center Pool, Pier Pool, and Columbia Pool. ORB coordinated the scopes for all of the facilities to be included in a single bid set.

Columbia, Southwest, Matt Dishman, and Mount Scott all underwent electrical upgrades and received new UV treatment systems. In addition, there was replastering and tile work necessary at Matt Dishman, while Mount Scott also received mechanical and pool system upgrades.

Pier Pool experienced the most extensive update with renovation of the entry, lobby, and restrooms, pool deck improvements, replacement of plumbing fixtures, lighting upgrades, and asbestos removal.

"You guys did a great job on finding just the right balance for Pier Pool—it looks great. I understand that attendance has doubled."
