HISTORY
The Dellora A. and Lester J. Norris Aquatics Center (opened in 1987) represented a major step in the University's campaign to improve athletic and recreational facilities on campus. The aquatics center features an Olympic-size swimming pool with diving springboards and platforms. In 2012 the Norris Aquatics Center went through a renovation which included replacing the pool deck, refurbishing the bleachers, installing an ultraviolet disinfectant system and updating the electrical wiring.
