YMCA Campus and Aquatic Center | Open Source Workshop

“Enhance community impact by providing a place that acts as an urban
connetor in post-Katrina New Orleans”.

The YMCA community campus expansion project will promote multi-generational interaction and
advance the physical wellbeing of the community through facility and program collaboration. The
project will act as an Urban Connector to enhance intercation and place making.

The YMCA provides high quality health and fitness, youth, teen, family, and senior programs for the
surrounding community. These programs support active older adults while providing programs that give an extra edge to good health that is needed to meet life’s changing challenges. The vision of the this project is to enhance community impact by providing a place where men, women and
children of all ages can enrich their lives and develop new skills, new interests and new friends.

In conjunction with the campus planning, YMCA will establish a state of the art aquatics complex
unlike any other in the region. A new competition pool and an upgraded existing pool will improve
swimming programs, and will provide more opportunities for the community.
