Bathhouse and Pavilion Replacement at Verona Beach State Park

Beardsley Architects + Engineers provided full architectural, engineering, landscape architecture, and construction phase services for the demolition of a 1950s-era bathhouse and construction of a modern, ADA-compliant facility designed to meet long-term park needs.

The new bathhouse design includes changing rooms, showers, lifeguard and staff areas, and a fully equipped concession space. A separate public pavilion supports gatherings and events year-round, alongside three open-air picnic shelters. Buildings were designed with exposed timber trusses and stone veneer details to create a striking aesthetic while minimizing cost.

Sustainable design strategies were incorporated throughout, including passive ventilation, daylighting via skylights and solar light tubes, and operable windows to reduce dependence on mechanical systems. Durable, low-maintenance interior finishes and carefully coordinated concession equipment layouts support operational efficiency.

Site improvements included sidewalk and utility design, drive surface planning, and native, low-maintenance landscaping to enhance the park experience with minimal environmental impact.
