The Wabash
YMCA is a two-story 76,000 sf family-focused recreational and
wellness facility located south of downtown Wabash, Indiana and
is a collaboration between Wabash County YMCA and Wabash County
Hospital.
The new
facility offers multipurpose space including leased space and
flexible gymnasiums that serve both the YMCA members, and also a
wide range of community-based interests. The entry to the YMCA
includes a vestibule and two-story atrium with a reception desk
to greet new visitors and control access to the facility from
non-members, a café complete with comfortable seating and two
Wi-Fi lounges, and also serves as an entry point for the public
to watch competitive swimming events.
Servicing
needs for both health and wellness, the recreational aspects
include a variety of indoor sports including; a 6-lane
competitive pool with elevated seating; a family pool with zero
depth entry and spray splash features; an indoor track; tennis,
racquetball, and basketball courts; child-watch and fitness
center. The Hospital component is 5,550 sf of space for physical
rehabilitation and therapy services. The link between recreation
and wellness allows for an ideal relationship between human and
health services.
The YMCA
includes two separate buildings, one for the YMCA and one for
the Outpatient Hospital. Each building has its own primary
entry. Both buildings include covered canopies at the entry; the
hospital has a drop-off zone with a drive-under canopy near the
door.
