Watson Awarded: Norfolk Recreation and Library Center

New Commercial Construction Project in Norfolk, VA

We’re excited to announce our first partnership with MEB Contracting on the new Norfolk Recreation and Library Center — a 107,000-square-foot, two-story facility that will serve as a state-of-the-art hub for the community. Designed to provide opportunities for recreation, wellness, and lifelong learning — this center will feature a wide range of amenities for residents of all ages.

Inside, the facility will include a natatorium with an 8-lane competition pool, lazy river, splash park, therapy pool, and a second-level viewing area. Families and community members will enjoy dedicated meeting and party rooms, a multi-purpose gym with bleacher seating, and expansive fitness and cardio spaces on both floors. A full-size public library will anchor the center, complete with media resources, computer labs, breakout spaces, and administrative support areas.

The outdoor site will be just as dynamic, featuring multi-purpose athletic fields, tennis and pickleball courts, outdoor fitness and obstacle courses, playgrounds for multiple age groups, picnic areas, walking paths, and ample parking.

Watson is proud to be part of this project that will bring lasting value and meaningful experiences to the Norfolk community, and we look forward to bringing our expertise to such an impactful development.
