South Boulder Recreation Center

1360 Gillaspie Dr/ Nixon Brown Brokaw and Bowen architects/ Usonian style/ built 1972

The building exterior and interior design is inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright with its low sloping roofs, broad overhanging roof eaves, exposed beams, and large areas of ‘picture’ windows. The building is cleverly composed on a hillside with a one-story entry level stepping down to the tall swimming pool and gymnasium wings below. Bill Bowen was the principal design architect.
