In 2023, severe and extensive damage was discovered at the Palo Alto Division (PAD) Building 530 Aquatic Center, including mold at gypsum board walls and corrosion of structural steel members. For health and safety reasons, the facility has been closed to Veterans and staff until this damage is remediated and repaired. In addition, the Boiler, Pool Mechanical, and Mechanical/HVAC rooms require repair of leaking pipes, valves, equipment, and damage to concrete floors and equipment pads.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) is planning a construction project to make critical repairs to the Aquatic Center. The project goal is to enhance the facility's integrity, safety, and functionality, ensuring it aligns with the highest industry standards and effectively serves the needs of Veterans.
