The new Secaucus Recreation Center, which officially opened in February of 2009, is a truly unique facility. Designed by RSC Architects (RSC), the state-of-the-art center includes weight training and fitness machine areas, an aerobics studio, and a member’s lounge to relax in before and after a workout. A multi-purpose gym
that houses a full-length basketball court is surrounded by an elevated three-lane running track. One of the highlights of the facility is the Olympic-size swimming pool. Complete with an observation deck, the pool is a hybrid design that can be used by the community for swim meets, as well as for recreational use.
Exterior materials include red ground face block and a translucent curtain wall system to refract light and fill the interior space with evenly diffused daylight. This design feature helps to prevent harsh glare and reduces peak-time electric lighting costs.
