UNIVERSITY PARK — SMU broke ground on its 42,000-square-foot Aquatics Center on Friday on the east campus at 5550 SMU Blvd. Home to the school's renowned men's and women's swimming and diving teams, the facility will be used for practices, competitions and community participation.

Plans feature an Olympic-sized, eight-lane indoor pool with a platform diving well, including four springboards and a 10-meter tower for training and competition. Coaches' offices, men's, women's and visitor locker rooms and a classroom and meeting area will be located adjacent to the pool.
