Suggested enhancements for this 20,000 square-feet facility include updating code and American Disabilities Act compliance, upgrading restrooms and locker rooms, modernizing the facility, addition additional workout rooms, adding a teen room, renovating the pool area and improving parking.

Officials are looking at options, and the building may be torn down and rebuilt.
