Celebrating Leadership in Purpose-Driven Aquatic Design
In the Winter 2010 issue of Architecture Leaders Today, Wallover Architects was profiled for their expertise and reputation in aquatic architecture as part of the AIA Archetypes series. The article explores the firm’s leadership under Edwin M. Wallover III, AIA, and their commitment to designing world-class aquatic environments for municipalities, schools, resorts, and recreational facilities.
The piece emphasizes how Wallover Architects has carved out a distinctive niche by staying focused on one primary objective: the creation of purpose-built aquatic centers that meet the functional, operational, and community needs of their users.
“Every project we do is an opportunity to build a legacy. We’re not chasing trends—we’re creating spaces that truly serve their purpose,” said Edwin Wallover in the feature.
From competition natatoriums like the Kinney Natatorium at Bucknell University to resort-style designs at properties like The Grand at Diamond Beach, the firm’s portfolio is as deep as it is diverse. Their hands-on, collaborative design approach, paired with in-house aquatic expertise, sets them apart from more generalized architecture firms.
The article also praises the firm’s ability to integrate innovative engineering and sustainable construction practices without losing sight of user experience—a trait that has become a defining mark of the Wallover brand.
Whether modernizing historic pools or planning entirely new aquatic centers, Wallover Architects continues to set the standard for excellence in aquatic facility design.
