Shery Continuation High selected as site of Torrance Unified aquatic center
The Shery Continuation High School
campus south of Wilson Park will become the site of Torrance Unified School
District’s $15 million high school aquatic center.
District officials selected the
Crenshaw Boulevard site from among four contenders at a Tuesday night
meeting.
“I think it was the best site, but we
owed it to the community that we looked at all available sites,” said Don Lee,
school board president.
Officials hope to break ground on the
66,000-square-foot competitive swimming venue about a year from now.
Construction is expected to take 12 months.
The state-of-the-art facility — which
be shared by the four high schools — will likely include two pools, seating for
about 500 spectators and an outdoor plaza with concession area.
The high school campus, which also
houses the Southern California Regional Occupation Center, will lose a ball
field when the facility is built.
