RCSC Insurance Claim for Sundial Roof Collapse Denied

The Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc., has learned that the company’s insurance provider, The Cincinnati Insurance Companies, has denied RCSC’s claim in the collapse of the roof over the indoor pool at Sundial Recreation Center. An engineering firm hired by Cincinnati Insurance determined that “material defects in the composition of the support gluelam beam that spanned across the south end of the pool” caused the beam to fail and collapse the roof. Losses due to material defects in property are excluded from RCSC’s insurance policy. 

The beam that failed was from the original construction of Sundial in 1972 and was reused in the 1987 renovation of the pool facility.  

RCSC Board President Denny Nichols expressed his disappointment at the denial of the claim. “RCSC is now looking into what our options are,” he said. “While we are disappointed that our claim was denied, our members can rest assured that we will be going forward with the Sundial rebuilding.”
