Higley served as Construction Manager at Risk for The City of Mayfield Heights, Aquatic and Community Center. The new building totals 33,000 SF and is made up of community rooms, educational space, office space, an 8,000 SF gym and two kitchens, one full service and one concession kitchen. The outside aquatics area consists of a 7,700 SF leisure pool, 4,400 SF activity pool and two large slides; slide ‘A’ is 4-lanes, 35’ tall and 207 linear feet, Slide ‘B’ is 105 linear feet and 35’ tall. Other exterior amenities include an amphitheater, maintenance building, picnic pavilion and large playground.

To prepare the site for the new building and pool Higley demolished the existing Community Center and surrounding facilities and re-located utilities to keep the existing maintenance facility in operation. The new facility will serve hundreds of residence throughout the year in many capacities for years to come.
