Best Sports/Entertainment: Las Cruces Recreational Aquatic Center
Located directly adjacent to the existing Regional Aquatic Center complex, this new 36,536-sq-ft aquatic facility includes an Olympic-size swimming pool, lobby and ticketing area, spectator seating and locker rooms.
Exterior windows feature vertically placed decorative aluminum blue fins, which invoke the movement and aesthetic of water. The fins also provide a function, as they will stand up to New Mexico’s extreme weather conditions and offer shading over the floor-to-ceiling natatorium windows.
