Locker Room Renovation: Areas of Impact

1. This is formerly the Aquatics Office space and is being transformed into the shaft for the ADA lift. This lift will take swimmers from the lower lobby down to the pool deck. Beside the wooden wall supports being built is the area dedicated to the Family Locker Room units.

​

2. A new wall is being built to separate the Family Locker Room units from the Women's Locker Room. This is the orginal entryway to the pool deck from the Women's Locker Room and it will continue to be the enryway.

3. Showers are being carried in and installed to their rightful homes! We know you have missed the showering space, and we have as well. The good news is showers will have their own stalls, but so will dry changing areas. No more combo spaces! If you aren't a swimmer, you will have a private dry changing space to use.

4. Speaking of dry changing stations, here is a look at a couple of them. 

5. The door to gain access to the Women's Locker Room from the lower lobby is just a few feet away from the doorway to the ADA lift and the Family Locker Rooms. Don't forget, there will be lockers available outside of the Family Locker Rooms, so a member does not have to enter an actual locker room to store items.

6. This will become a utility closet for staff to use. A little storage space goes a long way! Just down the walkway is the entryway to the Men's Locker Room.

7. The pool windows that once overlooked our indoor pool from the Aquatics Office have been mostly bricked in for the ADA lift shaft!

Scope of Work: Entryway added to the temporary wall in the lower lobby

A new entryway has been added to the temporary wall in the lower lobby next to the pool doors. This is to allow contractors to bring materials in and out of the locker room areas. Permanent walls have been installed to separate the locker room areas again post-demo, causing the new entryway to be installed.

Members may see contractors delivering items to each other via this entryway, but very minimal interruptions to daily operations should be expected.

Scope of Work: Webb Plumbing and Wilson Construction will re-route the backwash line and other plumbing impacting the pool area. This work is being done so they can start to build the shafts for the ADA lifts.

Date of Closure: Thursday, 11/21 through Saturday, 11/23

*Due to unforeseen circumstances during the scheduled pool outage, the pool will remain closed through 11/23. An update will be sent on the app at noon on 11/24 of re-open details.

Re-open Date: Saturday, October 5th at 8am

Scope of Work: The YMCA will be closed In order to complete necessary plumbing demo work and new installation work for the duration of the locker room renovation project, it will be essential for contractors to install plumbing isolation valves. Due to the complexity of our building’s plumbing infrastructure, this work will require that the water be shut off for the day on Friday, October 4th. This work will hopefully prevent necessary closures in the future. We will reopen at the regular time on Saturday at 8am.

A temporary staging wall will be set up in the lower lobby in order to maximize safety and reduce noise and access to the construction areas.

A temporary wall has been built to seperate construction work from member walk through areas.
