North Spokane YMCA
Spokane, WAThe north side of town is one of the fastest growing areas in the City of Spokane, Washington. To service this rapidly growing population, the Spokane YMCA provided a new multi-use 52,000 sq. ft. facility located at 10727 N. Newport Highway. The YMCA’s mission is building “a healthy spirit, mind and body for all,” and the aquatic area was designed to uphold that mission.
The facility features a 12,500 sq. ft. recreation center with lap and recreational swimming pools, gymnasium, fitness center, aerobics/spinning rooms, teen center, outdoor recreation space, and YWCA Outreach.
Acting as a visual focus for the building, the new aquatic venue creates a functional, attractive facility with numerous amenities including:
- 3,200 sq. ft. 25-yard lap pool with six lap lanes
- 2,000 sq. ft. recreation pool
- 900 ft. long current channel
- 10 person whirlpool spa
- Children’s interactive water play feature
- Zero-depth entry
North YMCA/YWCA achieved the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification for energy efficient design.
