Bon Accord Baths, Art Deco swimming pool in Aberdeen, Scotland
The main swimming pool measures 36 meters in length and features a five-level concrete diving tower at the deep end of the facility.
The Bon Accord Baths opened its doors on August 30, 1940, during World War II, providing recreational facilities for Aberdeen residents through difficult times.
The building incorporates local granite ashlar in its street facade and contains curved walls with sycamore timber paneling in the entrance lobby.
After closing in 2008, the building received a License to Occupy from Aberdeen City Council in 2020, enabling interior cleaning and maintenance activities.
The pool hall transforms into a concert venue, hosting performances during the Aberdeen Jazz Festival with musicians performing in the empty swimming pool.
