Sing it with us…Y – M – C – A! This phased project involved the demolition of the existing historic Raleigh YMCA facility on Hillsborough Street and construction of a new building in its place. The new building is 94,000 SF, with a total of three stories including a partial basement level.

The facility includes a gymnasium, and natatorium in addition to a chapel, meeting rooms, administration spaces, game room, wellness center, locker rooms, racquetball courts and exercise rooms.

The construction consists of cast-in-place concrete retaining walls and structural steel framed floors and roof. The roof over the natatorium is framed with precast double tees bearing on cast-in-place concrete walls. The gymnasium includes a suspended running track. Construction was performed in two phases in order for the facility to remain operational during the entire process of demolition and construction.
