Name of the project: Young’s Aquatic Center Improvements
Client: City of Overland Park
IOS Location: IOS Kansas City
Doors, Frames, and Openings for a Major Community Pool Improvement Project
Young’s Aquatic Center, also known as Young’s Pool, is one of Overland Park’s largest community pools. In 2021, the City of Overland Park began an improvement project for the pool that would rebuild the entryway to the building and pool house. IOS Kansas City worked with building partners Turner Construction to detail and supply openings for the project.
IOS Kansas City supplied doors, frames, and hardware for the project, and performed the installation of hardware for entryway gates. Further improvements to the Aquatic Center will include a joint park shelter, offices, an admissions desk, a party room, restrooms, and improvements to guest facilities.
Why Integration Mattered
This improvement project required careful coordination between multiple building partners to ensure smooth guest flow, secure access points, and long-term durability in a high-moisture environment. By integrating doors, frames, hardware, and gate systems early in the design phase, IOS Kansas City helped ensure that each opening aligned with architectural intent, safety standards, and daily operational needs.
For a community pool that sees heavy seasonal traffic, proper integration meant fewer maintenance issues, reliable functionality, and safer, more efficient movement for staff and guests. This holistic approach to openings ensured that Young’s Aquatic Center’s upgraded facilities will serve the community effectively for years to come.
Project Completion
Doors, openings, and hardware play a pivotal role in the scheme of overall improvements to the park. IOS Kansas City is proud to have contributed to this project, renovating and upgrading a park utilized by families in the Overland Park community. Their phase of the project started in April and was completed in May, 2022.
