The Hammond Family YMCA was designed to create a vibrant, inclusive and multifunctional space that supports the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of its users. Innovative architectural design prioritizes natural light, sustainable materials and flexible spaces, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship and user comfort. Key architectural features include expansive glass facades that connect indoor activity spaces to the surrounding landscape, dynamic rooflines for aesthetic appeal, and energy-efficient systems to reduce operational costs.
Program spaces are designed to serve a variety of age groups and interests. Highlights include a state-of-the-art fitness center, multi-use gymnasiums, dedicated areas for youth activities, an aquatics center with lap lanes, a leisure pool and a splash pad. Community rooms provide space for classes, meetings and events, while wellness-focused amenities such as a walking track and outdoor exercise areas promote holistic health.
The project aims to foster a sense of belonging by creating a hub for community engagement. By offering accessible, adaptable spaces for recreation, education and socialization, the facility supports the mission of providing opportunities for all. It is expected to drive economic growth, enhance quality of life and serve as a model for future community-focused developments. Hammond Family YMCA embodies a forward-thinking vision, delivering a space that inspires connection, participation and wellness for generations to come. The Hammond Family YMCA currently serves 22,000 members. With a steadfast commitment to inclusivity, the facility offers financial assistance to ensure that no financial barrier prevents anyone from experiencing the life-changing opportunities provided.
