What happened to the Pavilion Pool?

Over winter break 2021, the Pavilion Pool suffered a catastrophic mechanical, electrical, and plumbing failure and is closed permanently. Due to the catastrophic nature of this failure, the cost and time involved in attempting a repair were no longer feasible. UW Recreation used to manage the Pavilion Pool, but it is in the Hec. Ed. Pavilion building which is an ICA (Intercollegiate Athletics) facility. The Hec. Ed. Pavilion building is currently under construction as a part of the ICA Basketball Operations construction project.
