The $15.2 million facility is being built at Nordhoff Junior High and High School.

The Ojai (California) Unified School District has broken ground on an aquatics center at Nordhoff Junior High and High School in Ojai.

The Ojai Valley News reports that the $15.2 million Nordhoff Aquatics Center will provide a 35-meter swimming pool.

“Our school and our community need this badly," school board member Kathy Smith said. "This is exciting.”

Funds for the aquatic center come from a $45 million bond measure approved by voters in 2020. Voters approved the $45 million Measure K in 2020.

Construction project managers estimate the facility will be completed in September 2025.
