The Story

Community Health and Wellness Campus

The 120,000 sf YMCA and Middle School Partnership is a health and wellness focused campus that fosters collaboration between the school and a non-profit public entity. This partnership is focused on promoting a healthy body and mind lifestyle for both the students and community.

The YMCA includes an 8-lane competition outdoor pool, a warm pool, splashpad, wellness center, fitness studios, cycling studio and kids zone spaces.

The Middle school includes an outdoor 6 lane track and field, community garden, food and consumer science program, and a state-of-the-art gymnasium for its students and YMCA members.

The new YMCA/MS building is a certifiable green globe building with a 24-hour community accessible site where after hour aquatic programs will be available for all middle school students.

This project was completed as a joint-venture between Wannemacher Jensen Architects and Harvard Jolly Architecture.
