Dear Members:
Over the next several months, we will make some exciting improvements to your Briggs YMCA! Our aim is to enhance your experience by utilizing space more effectively to improve comfort, security and safety.
Upcoming projects focus on three key areas:
- Playcare will expand by 800 sq ft and be divided into three distinct areas focused on different age-groups. The entrance will move to the lobby. We will top it off with new flooring, paint, cabinetry and toys!
- Family Changing Space will be created! It will include dedicated space for families to change and shower while providing direct access the pool for swim lessons and open swim.
- Cardio/Strength Room will expand. The total space and capacity of the main exercise space will increase by 40% by moving the cardio equipment to new space on the second floor. We will also build a new cycling studio and small group training space on the main floor. Traffic flow will be supported by a second set of stairs on the west end of the building.
Clearly, with projects of this size and scope, some disruption is expected. We will do our best to limit those disruptions and provide ample notice when unavoidable.
Get up to date project information:
- Look for Project Boards in each area of construction that provide a visual of changes and highlight improvements.
- Pick up a Project Information Sheet for more detail about each of the projects and the timeline. These will be available at our Member Services Desk.
- Check in with Program Staff for up to date information on project status.
