Notes
  • Significance: Building 143 houses the water survival training pool, which is significant for its association with World War II (WWII) Naval Aviation Cadet Training. The pool was considered one of the largest in the United States at the time. American aviation cadets used the diving platforms for staging lifeboat drills and abandon-ship maneuvers. Its unusually large size, coupled with the presence of two wooden platforms to simulate the height of an aircraft carrier deck, is significant for its ability to yield information about Navy survival training exercises. The building is also significant for its laminated arch construction, an important contribution to building design by the U.S. Navy during the WWII era.
