OpenAire is currently building the
world’s largest retractable aluminum
dome for the Royal Marine Aquapark
in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Scheduled to open in August 2011,
the park is a joint venture between
the City of Donetsk and private sector
investors. Designed by WhiteWater
West, the idea for the park was
conceived when Donetsk was announced
as one of four Ukrainian
cities that will co-host Euro 2012.
The Royal Marine Aquapark will serve
as a new attraction for residents and tourists for Euro 2012 and beyond.
The dome features eight quadrants –
four of these quadrants will roll over
the remaining four fixed quadrants to
open the roof. “At 26m (86ft)-high
and 85m (278ft) in diameter, it’s the
largest free-standing aluminum dome
structure in the world,” says OpenAire
president Mark Albertine. “The
retractable design makes it the first
park of its kind. There is simply nothing
else like it.”
