Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) is demolishing the pavilion next to the indoor pool on Military Hill in Pullman, Washington, as part of renovations to the recently acquired Pullman Aquatic Center, now called the Schweitzer Wellbeing Center. The work will close part of the pool's parking lot and a nearby path to the high school, and is expected to be completed by March 25th.

Why it matters

The demolition of the pavilion is a key step in SEL's plans to renovate and upgrade the former Pullman Aquatic Center, which the company recently purchased from the Pullman School District. Keeping the pool as a public facility was an important part of the acquisition, and the upcoming renovations are aimed at improving the overall Schweitzer Wellbeing Center.
