Renovation Progress

Grahl Construction and E+E Architects have worked diligently alongside YMCA staff to design a plan that both honors the history of our building and meets the needs of our growing community. Construction will be completed in three phases to allow the facility to remain open and serving members throughout every project. 

Phase One Construction begins in early September, 2025!

Phase One Highlights:

• A new member entry point and youth center built into the current cardio room, racquetball courts, and strength center areas

• Major site work including parking lot improvements, new sidewalks, canopies, and a redesigned front loop for safer access

• A new parking lot entrance and exit, with the far entrance near the bus stop dedicated to construction traffic

Future phases will continue to modernize our facility, expand wellness areas, and ensure that the Athens YMCA remains a vibrant community hub for generations to come.
