The new Eugene YMCA – to be constructed at the corner of Hilyard Street and 24th Avenue – met a significant milestone: 100% completion of its final design.
Designed by PIVOT Architecture, the facility includes seismic upgrades that ensure the Y’s ability to support, shelter, serve, and aid the community in response to challenges over the next 100 years, including a significant earthquake. The final design also includes a splash pad in the Aquatics Center to serve families with younger children; a circular track above the gym; a dedicated cycle studio; a teaching kitchen; and an intergenerational high-tech maker space with S.T.E.M. equipment.
A groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting date will be announced as soon as the timing of critical funding, including the state’s $15 million award from the 2019 legislative session, is finalized.
