For this pool restroom building and admission office, Romtec designed the buildings to serve Irving Pool, in Allentown, PA with six single user restrooms, a lifeguard room with restroom, and a pump room for pool operations. The pool restroom building and admission office also has an admissions building, with an aluminum roll up curtain concession window, where staff can operate the business of the pool for guests.
These unique buildings both have the same aesthetic even though they are different sizes. Matching seamlessly, the transition from the admission office to the pool is simple, and guests can enjoy the single user restrooms that are great for families. A lifeguard room and pool pump room are also included in the restroom building to provide space for all operations of the Irving Pool.
