C.W. Driver Companies Completes $19M Aquatics Center to Advance CIF Championship Program at Torrey Pines High School 

Competition-grade facility includes adaptive features for students with disabilities, marking third phase of athletics modernization 

San Diego, Calif. — C.W. Driver Companies, a leading general contractor specializing in educational facilities, celebrated the opening of the new $19 million Aquatics Center at Torrey Pines High School, which is home to one of California’s most decorated high school swimming, diving, and water polo programs.  

Funded primarily by the San Dieguito Union High School District, the 7,099-square-foot facility delivers a competition-grade training and competition environment for swimming, diving, and water polo teams from multiple SDUHSD high schools.  

“Building a functional Aquatics Center on-site is essential to supporting the wide range of needs of athletes and their supporters,” said Andrew Hansen, Senior Project Manager at C.W. Driver. “We are grateful to contribute to the continued success of San Dieguito Union High School District swimming, diving, and water polo teams.” 

The centerpiece building houses a 25-yard by 37-meter competition pool designed to NCAA and USA Swimming standards, featuring a twelve-foot deep end with two diving boards for competitive diving, as well as infrastructure to support water polo practices and competition play. The pool features 3 shallow water lanes to serve as instructional swimming area and  support adaptive aquatics programming for students with disabilities and those needing therapeutic physical activity.  

Building for Athletes, Coaches, and Inclusion 

The Aquatics Center reflects a deep understanding of what competitive programs need to succeed. The adjacent main building houses: 

  • Expanded locker rooms with quick pool access and space for gear and school supplies 
  • Team rooms to build culture  
  • Centralized coaches’ offices and storage, eliminating off-site equipment runs and allowing staff to focus on athletes, not logistics 
  • Five ADA-accessible restrooms throughout the facility 

Third Phase of Campus-Wide Athletics Transformation 

The Aquatics Center marks the latest milestone in the San Dieguito Unified School District’s multi-year Athletics Facilities Project, a comprehensive modernization of Torrey Pines’ sports infrastructure to serve over 2,600 students. Thus far, additional completed work on new facilities includes: 

Phase 1 & 2 Completions: 

  • New baseball field 
  • Two softball fields, including a Varsity Softball field with Bermuda grass, new backstop, outfield fence, irrigation and landscaping 
  • Two multi-purpose sports fields 
  • Four new post-tensioned concrete tennis courts 
  • Resurfacing of four existing tennis courts 
  • Modernized locker rooms with new roofing, ADA-compliant wheelchair lifts, updated plumbing, lighting, and ceramic tile 

Despite working on an active high school campus, C.W. Driver completed the Aquatics Center in under 19 months by prioritizing construction during off-peak hours and coordinating closely with school leadership to minimize disruption to academic and athletic schedules. 

“This new Aquatic Center will be a great asset to the District for many decades to come,” said Rick Mortazavi, Executive Director of Planning Services at SDUHSD.  

C.W. Driver has an established partnership with the San Dieguito Unified School District for close to a decade, having delivered or in progress with the following projects: 

  • Pacific Trails Middle School new classroom building C 
  • Sunset High School reconstruction 
  • Torrey Pines High School building “I” modernization including new food service area, makerspace, and digital arts classrooms 
  • New visual arts center facility building 
  • San Dieguito High School Academy, multiple phased modernizations and athletics fields 

The new Aquatics Center will be located at 3710 Del Mar Heights Rd, San Diego, CA 92130.
