Clovis Aquatic Center Roof Renovation Shines with Kalwall Translucent Panels

The Clovis Aquatic Center in Clovis, NM, has made a splash with a dramatic upgrade — replacing its 35-year-old roof with state-of-the-art Kalwall® Translucent Panel Systems. This transformation has turned the facility into a bright, welcoming space for the community’s competitive swim team, recreational swimmers, and visitors alike.

With Kalwall’s high-performance translucent panels, the Clovis Aquatic Center pool area is now bathed in glare-free, diffused daylight. This not only enhances visibility for training and competition but also creates a more inviting atmosphere for casual swimmers. The upgrade significantly reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, contributing to energy savings and sustainability goals.

Located in eastern New Mexico, Clovis faces intense sunlight, high UV exposure, seasonal winds, and occasional hail — conditions that can be brutal on building envelopes. Kalwall’s durable, insulated sandwich panels are engineered to handle these environmental challenges, offering superior thermal performance and impact resistance while maintaining their crisp, clean look for decades.

For athletes, the new roof means better focus and performance without distracting glare. For families, it’s a more comfortable, safe, and enjoyable recreational environment. And for the city, it’s a cost-effective investment in both community health and long-term building performance.

With this renovation, the Clovis Aquatic Center now stands as a model for how Kalwall translucent panel roofing can rejuvenate aging facilities, improve energy efficiency, and create brighter, healthier spaces for communities to thrive.
