TechniCutter!

I finally got back out recently with the 4×5 for another photo. This one is of Cutter Pool at RCC, which was constructed in 1958.

I took the picture from the adjacent hillside in order to take in the entire complex. I think some more detailed shots are in order, but that will have to wait.

I understand that RCC is planning a major expansion of their swimming facilites, including a 65m-long pool, a diving tower, grandstands for 800 people, and facilities for competition swimmers. As a swimmer, I am very excited and hope to see the plans become reality. They are supposed to begin construction in 2009, according to a cached version of a write-up prepared by the college.

I’m also glad to read in the same online source that they will keep the existing building and pool. I think it’s a cute building, with its accordion-shaped canopy and brick veneer. Here it is colorized in Photoshop…
