A New Chapter Begins for the Schererville Family YMCA

The Schererville Family YMCA marked a new chapter with a unique wall-breaking ceremony inside the former Jak’s Warehouse space to celebrate the start of its expansion. Instead of shovels, YMCA officials, project partners and community leaders used sledgehammers to break through a temporary wall, unveiling renderings of the future facility.

The project will introduce new family and youth spaces, indoor turf fields, fitness areas, a bouldering wall, and welcoming gathering areas, creating a stronger hub for the community.

Elevatus Architecture is proud to be the architect behind this YMCA project, creating spaces that will strengthen families and the community. We’re grateful to collaborate with the YMCA and Tonn & Blank Construction in bringing this vision to life.

“I want to say how proud and excited Elevatus is to be a part of this. We’ve learned a lot through this process, but to be able to come to Schererville and build a community center and do a big, important adaptive reuse project where we take an old building and transform it into a place where people can come with their friends and family everyday and and learn about nutrition and fitness. We just couldn’t be more excited to be here.”

Tom Salzer, Partner, Architect, Health & Wellness Leader

 

“This project represents three things. First, it’s an investment in people, kids, seniors, families, our employees. Second, it’s an investment in this community. And third, it’s an investment for the future.”

Tory Prasco, Chairman, Board of Directors of the Crossroads YMCA
